“Let It Be”

“There will be an answer, LET IT BE.”

That old Beatles song “Let It Be” has been playing in my head the last few days. So I’m going to just go with it and agree.  Here are a few of the lyrics:

“Let It Be”  –  (a song by The Beatles)

“When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be

And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

And when the brokenhearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer
Let it be

For though they may be parted
There is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer
Let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Yeah, there will be an answer
Let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be …”

Much of my life I’ve tried to understand whatever was occurring to me or around me; and sometimes I make a good stab at it, and other times I fail to comprehend why something is ‘what it is.’

I can’t even put a name to what I am feeling now after the latest US election results. ‘Shocked’ at first, came close; ‘disappointed’ was long, long ago.  Now I’m feeling more morbidly curious, like “There’s something I’m not seeing at work behind the scenes here, and I can only wait and watch to see what that ‘something’ really is.  No fear allowed here.  Just keep an open mind, and watch it all play out.”

The words most prevalent in my head at present are: “Wait and watch. Expect the unexpected.”

So that’s my NEW cobbled philosophy: “Wait and watch; and let it be whatever it is going to be,” because I’m only in the observation booth for the duration of this game. Get some popcorn and a bottle of water and settle in for the show on the field. I’m not even sure who the teams are that are playing down there. That’s the really strange part. This may turn out to be a ‘Hunger Games’ sort of experience.  Who will be left standing at the end?  I have no predictions. Very strange.
