}From Disappointment to Childlike Hope{
Gloom may be felt while things undergo a transition toward something better, probably by Thursday. Radiating affection and love are coming, as things lighten up, noticeable even today but flowering tomorrow. Meanwhile there is a process of rising beyond suffering by learning whatever it is teaching.
Some things which have seemed promising may seem less so, with a resulting let-down. The keyword is "seem" because, after this hiatus, what you believed in will become convincing again.
You are alert to intensities in yourself and people. You can't let anything be; you have to get involved at least mentally. You can prevent this sensitivity from becoming painful and let it be inquisitive, explorative.
There are touches of enchantment even in your work. You can transform worry into a childlike trust in the beauty of things. Sharing what you have may seem absurd when you feel you don't have enough, yet it can happen if the inner attitude is confidence that all will be supplied. Then generosity multiplies gifts, as the loaves and fishes.
Childlike trust is a wonderful thing to see. The adult knows that the child will have to learn responsibility and duty, but would not force them too often or too soon on the happiness the child enjoys by trusting the Invisible (which only with reluctance he admits functions usually through his parents' grace). So in parenting ourselves we have to keep up with work, yet its efficiency and results are more secure if we feel we can rest and enjoy even while working. Thereby we become adept in facing every moment's challenge as opportunity, yet letting even opportunity go when it is time to trust the One who (believe it or not) cares for us.
