Sometimes, reconciling life—what it presents—can be a daunting task.  I’m a firm believer that all things happen for a reason.  That nothing is by chance.  There are valuable lessons to be gained by all of life’s experiences.  But sometimes….

I’ve been wrestling with the news I received yesterday about my girlfriend’s terrible accident that may claim her life.  I’m trying to come to terms with it.  Process it.  Understand what possible lesson life might be trying to present.  And yet…I come up with…nothing.

Perhaps it’s too soon.  I’m too close.  The agony of not knowing and having to wait on pins and needles, jumping every time my phone rings or notifies me that I have a new message or text.  All these things combined are clouding my ability to make sense of something that seems to utterly senseless.

But then, it could just be that I selfishly don’t want to lose my girlfriend.  That the world shines brighter because of her presence.  When I close my eyes, all I see is her brilliant smile and hear her contagious laughter—her enthusiasm for living/life itself. 

It’s through this “selfishness” that my mind refuses to reconcile what has happened, what is happening.  How it’s utterly out of my control.  And so, I’ll wait, hoping that eventually clarity will reveal the true meaning of this situation.
