“My heart is at ease knowing that what was meant for me will never miss me, and that what misses me was never meant for me.”
– Sufi prayer
As my son, his friends and thousands of other high school seniors begin to hear back from colleges they applied to, this is a time of elation, uncertainty and heartbreak as acceptances, deferrals and rejections are posted on electronic portals.During times like these, this Sufi prayer about how what is meant for each of us will come to fruition may offer perspective. Although we may not yet know what we are meant for, this Sufi message implies that we will find it and it will find us.
When have you felt that what was meant for you came to you?
