Movement to Propel






"And we who loved the world must learn the language of absence:
days foreshortened, empty rooms, the irrevocable distance 
between the goodbye and letting go."
Joe Bolton

Today's world calls all of us into different routines.  All of us are asked to adjust schedules and divert activities away from social gatherings.  It is as though we are asked to learn a new way to deal with the space between letting go of old habits  ....  and  developing a healthier beginning.

Spring represents new growth and regeneration which we usually think of in terms of nature.  If we apply it to ourselves we will less likely become stagnant, depressed or discouraged.  Think of one singular action that would weed the overgrown lists loitering in the head.  Just one movement to propel us forward.

If we eliminate the false stories we tell ourselves and tunnel our energy into something fresh, we will be a better person for it.  If one really desires something, he or she will find a way.  It may be a minor step towards future summer time episodes, but we must begin.  We can keep it as our own secret project until it begins to take shape.  We may wobble in the beginning, but win in the end!
