This morning I woke up with my right eye puffed up and tender. I have no idea why. Was it from allergies? An infection? The stars? I really don’t know. But my having a lack of understanding doesn’t seem particularly unusual these days.

I’m starting to get used to inexplicable things happening on a regular basis. I wouldn’t go so far as to say it feels “normal”—whatever that is. It still feels somewhat bizarre. But I’m certainly a lot less surprised than I used to be when things don’t seem calm and predictable.

It’s kind of like living in an energetic squall, interspersed with periods of calm and rest that never seem to last as long as I’d like. But I’m noticing something, which I find quite intriguing. I seem to be getting everything done I need to get done—including having time for fun. What’s more, I think I’m doing it all with less stress than in the past. Maybe I don’t have the time or excess energy to put into getting stressed anymore. I just need to dive in and do what’s in front of me. Maybe. Again, I don’t profess to any superior insights. I’m just observing the show and noticing the patterns.

I was talking to a friend later today and described what was going on with my eye. Suddenly I realized that it felt like someone had punched me in the eye. Thankfully that didn’t happen, at least not literally. But perhaps figuratively I got an energetic knockout. I did end up having a much more restful day than I’d expected. My morning client—a long distance channeling session—needed to reschedule because her phone wasn’t working. And I couldn’t go to my afternoon appointment because of my eye. So suddenly I had the freedom to do what I really felt like doing, which was to slow way down and work from a very organic, rather than externally structured, place. And in doing so, I actually got a tremendous amount done.

My friend I was talking to has been dealing with her own obstacles, with her computer (which she relies on for her work) acting in all kinds of difficult and testing ways. We agreed that everything seems to be coming down to trust—trust that everything will work out, that we’ll be taken care of and given what we need, regardless of the circumstances we seem to be facing. Everything else, beyond staying in the disposition of trust, seems to be about riding the waves as best we can.

So we decided that the name of this year is “Trusting the Process.” It’s a little unnerving to me that the year is so young. I wonder what else we’ll be encountering as we progress through the months. But I’m choosing not to focus on that. I’m focusing, instead, on trusting the process. I’m sure there’s enough in that meditation to keep me fully occupied. And probably a lot happier, too.
