The Someday-Coming Idea

I always find it interesting when a notion keeps nudging at me like a dog trying to get a nose under one's hand in order to be petted. A certain concept has been presenting itself to me in many ways over the past few weeks (months?) and it makes it hard to ignore when it gets louder and more prominent with time. The idea that one feels discomfort at certain points in one's life because some future person or occurrence is pulling you into his/her/its space and trying to bring you out of your present reality and into the next one is a compelling idea. Or put more simply, tomorrow is pulling you towards it, out of the circumstances of today.

The someday-coming person or circumstance is probably feeling your same discomfort and is just as sick of it as you are. This creates some sort of strange harmony, compelling you into action, even if it is something small like going to view the leaves outside, or deciding to drink cider in celebration of the season at a farmer's market. I feel very strongly that this is happening, that something outside of me, something future, something lovely, that is tired of seeing me in the space that I am in and wants me where he/she/it is.

I received the following Note From the Universe recently:

What if loneliness was simply a feeling of impatience, telepathically sent to you by friends you've yet to meet, urging you to go out more, do more, and get involved so that life's serendipities could bring you together...Would you still feel alone?

What if feelings of uncertainty and confusion were only reminders that you have options, that there's no hurry, and that everything is as it should be...Would you still feel disadvantaged?

What if mistakes and failures only ever happened when your life was about to get better than it's ever been before...Would you still call them mistakes and failures?

Yes, what if? What do you think?
