Back when I was married, my ‘wasband’ (my ex-husband), who was not exactly known for his interest in the metaphysical or ‘spiritual’, made us an appointment with Roxanna, an intuitive/psychic he’d heard about while we were on retreat in Mexico. She had us rub a bouquet of aromatherapy oils into the palms of our hands and smell them with our eyes closed for a few minutes, and then...
“You get frustrated,” she told him “and you bring it to the relationship. And Andrea tries to fix it. That is really frustrating, isn’t it?” He agreed (a bit too enthusiastically). “You need to leave him to his frustrations,” she told me. “They are positive, even though they don’t seem like it at the time. They’re what he needs in order to move to something better.”
“The impediment to action advances action. W hat stands in the way becomes the way.” Marcus Aurelius
I think Roxanna’s advice rings true for us all. We have to be allowed our seeming setbacks so that we can move through them, learn from them, and ultimately move on. To rush or to avoid this progression would be to cheat ourselves out of the gold that’s being mined and then, worst of all, we’d have to repeat the lesson. Out of the challenge comes a little shining piece to the puzzle of why —a better understanding of what we’re capable of and insight into what we’re doing here. It is our way towards meaning. Sometimes we need to get a bit lost in order to find our self.
