Wild Transitions

Sophia Wild by David Hayward Change is wild.

In the past three months my previously (only recently) stable life, filled with expectations, methodologies and deadlines turned upside down with a move.

Which, in true domino fashion, upset a number of other previously stable entities with delays, surprises, shocks and a good shaking.

In the wake we've been a little stunned.  Waiting for the dust to clear.  What to mourn, what to accept, what to embrace? A teacher tells me to look to nature.  And what I see in the wake of catastrophic events--all relative depending on your species, size, situation--is the power of adaptation.

When faced with loss, you adapt, change course, move, make new decisions and directions based not on where you were or wished to be, but where you are right now. Elen of the Ways by Chesca Potter And when you are clear about your options, you share with your family, your tribe and community.  You paint them a picture of your most recent path.

I'm still shaken by all that has unfolded in this latest transition, still trying to reason my way out of some un-reasonable situations.  When I'm a little more settled, more clear, I'll be sharing here the stories.

Until then, I wish ease to your own.
