Trusting the Universe

The doors are being slammed in my face, one by one. It seems that everything I am asking the universe for is being refused.........and I find myself thinking about my desired life instead of my actual life. So I settle back into my feelings and needs. I share my feelings and needs and make a request, just like the Non-violent Communication folks tell me to do. And another door slams in my face. I told a friend at lunch today about my recent experience and she said, "be patient and wait- something is about to happen". The universe knows better than I. Maybe I need rest, maybe there is a better opportunity than I can imagine, maybe I am supposed to be learning something from all of this. The only solution is to trust the universe and stay in the present moment with my feelings and needs. Damn hard work!
