Darkness to Light / Winter to Spring

As we move from darkness to light, from winter to spring, there are often no words. They haven't formed yet. There's just pure sensation. Raw energy. Unnamed. Gray. 

It can be uncomfortable. Really uncomfortable. Much is unknown. 

The winds pick up and shake loose what isn't pinned down. Debris of the old. All that isn't grounded in the here and now is swept away.

Who will I be if I'm not what I was? The mind attempts to regain control, to hold steady in a storm of change. But if we stiffen against the winds, we will likely break. 

The Wise Heart offers a gentle "Yes!" to this question. Yes to discovery. To a new adventure. To growing. To branching out. To life!

If we soften, relax into what is, we may sway side to side but remain standing. Then new blossoms will burst forth, and our world will fill up with bright colors once again. ​
