335: The Thread We Follow

Published: March 10, 2024, 10:26 a.m.

\nSo much changes in the course of a day, a year, a life. We can be mysteries to ourselves and to others - confounding, confusing - as we turn this way and that, trying to find our way together through this changeable complex world. It\u2019s very easy to feel lost and confused.
\n
\nBut even in the midst of all of this, is there something we can learn to trust\u2026 a thread we can reach for that runs through it all?

\nThe Way It Is
\n

\nThere\u2019s a thread you follow. It goes among
\nthings that change. But it doesn\u2019t change.
\nPeople wonder about what you are pursuing.
\nYou have to explain about the thread.
\nBut it is hard for others to see.
\nWhile you hold it you can\u2019t get lost.
\nTragedies happen; people get hurt
\nor die; and you suffer and get old.
\nNothing you do can stop time\u2019s unfolding.
\nYou don\u2019t ever let go of the thread.
