If I *put it out to the Universe* and the Universe responds, then it is *responsible* and I am grateful. Interesting to note that what I *put out* there tends to be things that will positively affect me. How easy it is to forget that some of life’s hardest lessons can provide the most unexpected silver linings.

If we are to believe in this thing called the Universe (which I personally believe is just a secular word for God – based on my own journey away from Christianity, through the New Age and out the other side), then surely the Universe is not just a fair-weather friend? I am far from *perfect* and am deeply flawed, so to think that I only *deserve* good things from the Universe is to deny the Whole of Me.

These musings are far from complete, and as usual, I’m left with more questions than answers.

Thanks for the humourous post – sometimes we take matters of faith and self altogether far too seriously! Humour is a g0d-given gift
