Processing the Processes....

Looking up in wonder....©2012 jill e. vaile



"The nature of things is resistance to change, while the nature of process is resistance to stasis,
yet things and process are one,
and the line from inorganic to organic and back is uninterrupted and unbroken.”
William Least Heat-Moon


I've been thinking about the processes that run concurrently in my life.

Grief, maturity, becoming more spiritual, taking better care of myself, and being a best friend to myself and others... an example...


Looking at them separately can be daunting, but as a conglomerated process it is much less so.

The word, "process" has many definitions, but these are the ones I believe apply to me:

* a continuous action, operation, or series of changes taking place in a definite manner
* the action of going forward or on
* the condition of being carried on
* course or lapse, as of time

Today I observe the process of change and growth and I respect that they take time to meld. 


And the process of healing combines all of my life.

Emotional and spiritual aspects of healing are unidentifiable to the eye.
So when there is damage it can take an incredible length of time, if not an infinite amount, to even gain awareness of its existence. 


Thus recognizing when I am whole, or not, in spirit and mind, is a very difficult process.

I'm grateful my vision is clearer and I can focus on healing the many parts of me. 

And heal even more.

Today, with the grace my Higher Power has given me, I can trust the processes and have faith that I am finding my way as I am meant to.

Today I am grateful for the process.
