Now-ness, Next-ness, New-ness

“Learn to trust what you cannot see far more than what you can see.”― Caroline Myss, Anatomy of the Spirit: The Seven Stages of Power and Healing

“It may be that when we no longer know what to do,
we have come to our real work
and when we no longer know which way to go,
we have begun our real journey.

The mind that is not baffled is not employed.
The impeded stream is the one that sings.”― Wendell Berry

In now, awareness, attention, gratitude.
Struggle, fumbles, trips, carrying on.
Ordinary days graffitied with joy, beauty and laughter.
In next, anticipation, hope, leaping.
Unknowing, mystery, uncertainty, moving forward.
Ordinary days transformed by transitions, thresholds, change.
In new, growth, bloom, resurrection.
Trusting detours, delays, getting lost are the path intended.
Ordinary days never really ordinary at all.
Nows, nexts, news weaving together into the tapestry of life.

“She kept swimming out into life because she hadn’t yet found a rock to stand on.”― Barbara Kingsolver, Animal Dreams
