Lifting the Veil of the Unknowing

WORKING WITH CONFUSION

I have been seeing so much confusion come up recently, both in my life and in others. Feeling lost is crazy place to be: flailing around in uncertainty and constant mood swings. But it can also be such a potent place. It's where the past strong structures have loosened in some way, and growth is possible. Learning is possible. Healing is possible. Have you also felt lost or confused in some way recently?

I personally have found praying for clarity very helpful during this time. When I only do my gratitude prayer while I am stuck in confusion, I can't even really find it, and I leave my prayer practice feeling disoriented and moody, and still confused. But when I pray for clarity, as I am for this new moon, I always see something. Something comes forward to say: hey, I'm here. The veil of the unknowing is scary, because we can't see what's ahead, and we don't know when it will lift. But when I remember to just come back to my practices that help, my clarity prayer, my meditation practice, something usually comes forward and reminds me: "Trust. You're doing great. Follow this little nugget and truth will be found from it, eventually."

What clarity are you needing today? If you have been experiencing this time of confusion as well, how can you enjoy being in this state of the unknown, and trust in following the little things that come up one by one?

I hope you enjoyed this musical offering. May it provide inspiration to go deeper into confusion and come out eventually with clarity.
