Day Five: Knowing

“The process of knowing is the positive and active response to the dead end of ‘I don’t know.’ Turbulence is life force. It is opportunity. Let’s love turbulence and use it for change.” ~Ramsay Clark

Have you ever gone to a psychic, or read tarot cards or hired a coach when you were seeking the answer to a question? Were you satisfied with the answer or did it leave you with more questions and even a frustration or discomfort? Even if someone gave you an answer, in truth, it was only the beginning. The answer skimmed the surface and over time, an answer with more depth was revealed. When you understood the depth, it was the perfect time for you to know.

I remember wanting to know if my son, Cooper, was going to live or die. He was born with a congenital heart defect and had his first open heart surgery at the age of three weeks. The second surgery was when he was fifteen months old. And at the age of nineteen months old, a 4th stage neuroblastoma cancer was discovered behind his kidney. He died a week later. At the memorial service someone said, “Well, you must have known he was going to die young.”
