I’ve been on a bit of a hiatus the last couple of months. Life has intruded on art bringing unforeseen changes. I find myself contemplating the meaning of all this and wondering where it will all lead.

Change is a word that can conjure up both excitement and fear. We look forward to the promise of the future while still stressing over the path that we seem to be uncontrollably driven down. Job changes and family drama can twist and turn with the wind. The feeling of being on a downward spiral can cause a panic attack in even the most stouthearted.

Still, there may be positives to be found in all this. We are forced to think outside the box finding inner strength that we never knew that we possessed. Perhaps, we can find options that we would never have considered, options that hold potential that we would have missed if life had continued on without a ripple of adversity.

So for me, it is one day at a time. I write another sentence of my next book. I dream one more dream. And we carry on knowing that all in all, it will be okay. There are always new choices and new paths to follow. We just need to embrace the changes as they come.
