Providing

I forget sometimes that the universe provides, if only you hasten to ask.

It's a lesson that I have learned over and over again. Yet, each time I am surprised.

I have always been provided with those things that I need. Whether through my own efforts or the efforts of others on my behalf, I have never not been able to meet my needs.

But, in addition to that, the universe provides for my wants. It sounds pompous and selfish to say so. But it's true. Even my smallest, silliest wants are the business of universal force.

When the universe provides for my wants and I am stunned and surprised, I refelct upon Hafiz, who would say that if I would listen closely, I could hear God laughing.
