Sunday Coffee Thoughts

These are the darkest days of the year in North America, a reminder we live within cycles—seasonal, life stage, economic, historical; it is all, always in motion.

Each cycle requires adjustment, trimming or letting out the sails, gusts of wind.

I am ever in the process of becoming something new that replaces something before as is everyone I interact with, we are a collective forward.

I am wary of the spiral, of getting stuck in the “it’s a mess, not what I expected” instead of “yes, it’s messy; work with it as best you can”.

At each stage a question—am I up to the task?—and a paradox—see things as they are and also make them into something they are not yet.
