When I began seriously to pursue property in Sequim, the timing could not have been worse. The pandemic was full tilt and everyone seemed to be trying to get from where they were to some other place. Sequim is listed annually as one of the either ten or twenty—depending on the website—best places to retire. Properties wouldn’t even show up on the internet before a realtor had grabbed it up for a client. (I needed a root canal as I was moving up, and finding someone to do it was epic! The doctor I finally found told me he’s a year and a half out for his appointment to have a simple physical.) It appears many residents have gone elsewhere and new folks have moved in.
Our realtor is a true gift, an embodiment of the practice of restraint and religious observances. It just seemed there was nothing available. We were being priced out of the market, and it was getting worse day by day. She would respond to a query of, “What do you think about that?” with, “Nope, I don’t think that’s it. Your place is out there, we just have to be patient until it shows up.” Wisdom is such a gift! When she sent the pictures and description of this place, I knew she knew, and I knew she was right. After that, it all just came together even in Mercury retrograde!
And, don’t we face this regularly, with big issues and small? Nothing seems to be working. We can’t see how it could ever possibly work. Often the strident voices of ego urgency are filling the head. Wait? Be patient? Trust that Life is unfolding perfectly? It’s so hard to be with and, yet, when we look back over our life, the evidence that Life has always unfolded perfectly is irrefutable.
