This hand of bananas came into my kitchen, bright green but spattered with the black, crumb-like remains of sap soaked branches. I rinsed it well and gave it a green mat to rest on. Overnight, one turned yellow while the next one began to imitate it.
The next morning I said to the bunch of bananas, "I had faith in you, I just knew that you would turn yellow!" (I often have these one-sided conversations with inanimate objects when I'm left alone for a few days).
I wanted and waited for, a soft sweetness to come over them.
Then it was time to eat, share or freeze.
Then they were gone. But there's no worry or sadness because I know there will be more. More bananas are growing, waiting to be cut, making their way toward me.
That certainty, that absence of doubt, is the way I want to feel about all that I'd like to be, do, or have in this lifetime. I'd like to get so good at it that I could wish and receive good things for others too! It could be as easy as watching a bunch of bananas ripen.
The greatest gift that you could give to anyone you love is the gift of positive expectation. But you can't give someone positive expectation until you know the Laws and have practiced them yourself enough so that they are very familiar. - Abraham-Hicks
