When Do We Move On?

Things end, one door closes and another opens is what they say. We are continually at beginnings and endings. Life is one big beginning and ending. What we do in between is up to us, but we are only partially in control, it takes grace to walk through our lives effortlessly going through these entrances and exits, dancing with the universe. It's hard not to peek through the door you had once closed and sometimes pure torture just to walk through the doorway and close the door you may be better off closing. The thing is, I sometimes wonder if we are even responsible for the opening and shutting or if we simply get nudged along peeking through doorways some mysterious force has opened or shoved forward, the door slamming behind as if by a ghost. I am ever surprised by the intelligence my body and the universe have playing this game on me. As if they are sharing secrets, the whole while I am just a naive chess piece, graciously abiding to their moves. The truth, we don't know when we will move on, what will be brought to our table tomorrow or what choices will seem fit in the future. However, we do have the option to become aware, honor where we are in our process and treat ourselves and others with respect through our journey. The good thing is life will take care of the rest.
