Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is
“reason.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!
Reason
Reason.
Everything happens for a reason.
I’ve said that many times in my life.
But do I actually believe it?
Yes.
Mostly.
And there’s the problem with asking my brain a simple question. 😂
Because sometimes something happens and the reason seems obvious years later.
A door closes.
A plan falls apart.
Someone enters your life unexpectedly.
Someone leaves.
You take a different road, make a different choice, say yes when you normally would have said no.
Then one day you look backwards and think,
Ahhh. That’s why.
But there are other things I will probably never understand.
Things where no reason seems big enough.
No explanation makes them fair.
No amount of everything happens for a reason takes away the pain.
Maybe that’s where I’ve changed as I’ve grown older.
I don’t think we always need to know the reason.
Sometimes perhaps the reason isn’t hidden inside what happened at all.
Perhaps it is in what we do afterwards.
What we learn.
What we create.
Who we help.
What we refuse to accept again.
How deeply we love because we suddenly understand that nothing is guaranteed.
And sometimes there may be no grand cosmic explanation.
Maybe life simply happened.
I can live with that too.
My astrology-loving, universe-watching brain will probably still search for patterns, signs and synchronicities. 😂✨
That’s part of who I am.
But I’ve stopped demanding that every question comes with an answer.
Some reasons reveal themselves immediately.
Some take years.
Some may remain mysteries forever.
And perhaps there is a reason for that too.
Oh bloody hell.
I’ve gone in a circle. 😂💜
With love, coffee, poetry, and stardust,
