We realize that this moment holds everything within it, the resolved and the unresolved, the past and the future, and that it is from this moment that we must live our lives. Daily OM 4-30-07
I was struck by the phrase the resolved and the unresolved. We can't fight our human-ness or the human condition in which the resolved and the unresolved are side by side. It simply is. To hope for all resolutions all the time is to discount the human condition in which we perceive dimly more often than not. Clarity is a great gift, but it comes in moments, with more than a little inconsistencies.
At any given moment we might have more of one than the other in our lives...or our lives might seem to be totally one or the other. Keeping on keeping on leads us to the next step and then the next, when dealing with the unresolved, until what can be resolved might be.
There have been times in my life when everything that was resolveable was resolved...and what wasn't I tried not to dwell on.
You can't force resolutions, that's for sure. But we can be open to them. Sometimes it is time, and sometimes it is actions that lead to resolutions. Some resolutions are just evidence of grace in our lives because we can't take any credit at all.
If you are dealing with the unresolved, take heart if you have taken steps or are being led to steps you might take. God will open a way, even if it takes years. I can think of one partial resolution that took 15 years to appear in my life. If you don't know what to do, think, pray, listen ... and somehow you will find your way out. Perhaps a good idea from a friend...or a book...or a thought comes to the rescue.
Onward!
