Here’s a message that came to me on a morning walk about new beginnings:
The sun is peeking out from between the leaves, breaking through the dark clouds that have been crowding your mind and heart for days or weeks. Months, perhaps. The rays are starting to thaw the frozen fear state you’ve been in.
The pathway forward is emerging as the fog dissipates. You feel a glimmer of hope. The call to trust. There is still the tremor of trepidation, and your foot trembles as you lift it.
Breathe. With each exhale, release that which no longer serves you. The old fears and need for control. That’s the gift this fresh start is granting you. For all that is required of you in this moment is to take the next step. You don’t need to know where the road will lead you. That’s the beauty of the journey.
Slow down. Tread gently. Relish the unfolding, for therein lie the gems that line your life with twinkles of joy.
