Everything's Changing, So How Am I To Know?

I have a playlist on my iTunes called, "Just Listen". It's an evolving list of songs that I'm constantly adding to and deleting from, mostly adding, though. The situation that inspired the list is fluid in my life. In fact, I added songs this past weekend, because of this past weekend. I chickened out, though, and never played the playlist for the person I'd like most to hear it.

However, in retrospect, this is not a bad thing. First, because I used the words in my head and not the playlist's words to say what I needed to say. And although the songs were certainly more poetic, I needed to be direct and clear. Second, there are still songs to add, and this is a good thing. I don't know which songs they are yet, but they're out there. And it all makes sense, to me anyway, even the really insane bits of it.

I need to remind myself that the uncertainty of all of these things swirling around me will not always be uncertain. I must remember to exhibit patience, what is needed from me most right now. As much as I may have missed the opportunity to reveal "Just Listen" to the right person, I also need to take that title to heart myself, and just listen for a while.

It is what it is, and for now, it's ok.
