I got it. Totally. I was becoming frustrated and resentful that my wusband (past tense of husband) could not or would not keep promises, share intimately, go to family functions with me, and on and on. Good advice.

But then what? What if I am still thirsty? And where IS the damn bakery?

Well, when I looked around I saw that I had friends who I could absolutely rely on and who could and would share intimate conversations and keep my confidence. And you know who did come to my family functions? My family! I learned not to expect any one person to be everything that I wanted or needed, but to see who and what was available in the vast resource of people, places, animals and things in my life.

But there is even more.

There is The Well.

It’s there when I close my eyes

and go within

and feel

peace.

It sprays up at times,

ideas into my mind,

energy through my body.

It’s wisdom that I trust.

It knows

and so I know

that everything will be Ok,

that this too shall pass,

that I am always loved.

It feels like nothing lacking.

 

And so I don’t need anyone to be anything, other than perfectly who they are in this moment. And that can change – although I can’t change it.

May you find the bakery when you need bread, and an abundant well overflowing with all you need when you look around, and within.
