I said to the Universe: will you show me a sign?
The Universe said to me: My child, lay down your head. Your journey has been long, and you are weary!
And I said: so I shouldn’t go to my ex’s wedding?
The Universe said: Rest, my child. The world is beckoning to you in snowbanks and travel fraught with danger! Lay down your head.
And again, some time later, I said to the Universe: will you show me a sign?
The Universe said to me: She smiles like never before; she is gleeful and joyous, and the one who is joyful will make joyful spaces abound!
And I said: so he’s a good fit for her, and I should enjoy this joy as well?
The Universe said: I have watched you, her, and everyone, for all their days, and she smiles now, like never before. She glows and is full of light.
Again, I said to the Universe: will you show me a sign?
And I said again: will you show me a sign?
But the Universe said nothing.
And I asked: should I not get help? Am I really supposed to deal with this alone? Am I really meant to fight this on my own?
And the Universe stayed quiet.
And I pleaded: oh, won’t you show me a sign? oh, won’t you help me?
and I said: why now?
and I said: why now?
and I said: the silence is a sign enough
