Allow your longing. I believe our longing is the thing that has already happened to us, but we haven’t caught up to it in time. It’s loving something before we believe in it. It is right to long. It is right to yearn. It is our yearning that takes us forward toward our soul’s desire. The only real map of our lives is in our yearning. If you can sit in it and say: You know what, Yearning? I believe you. I believe you’re meant to be fulfilled, you will feel a piece of truth come into your heart. There will be freedom in believing your yearning can be fulfilled. Martha Beck
