“In the universe, there are things that are known, and things that are unknown, and in between them, there are doors.”― William Blake
“The messy middle is all about what happens when we’re in the state of in between. It involves a complicated alchemy of giving up old ways and experimenting with new ones, moving beyond what’s past and beginning to define what’s coming. In butterfly-speak, it’s cocooning; in hero-speak, it’s getting lost.”― Bruce Feiler, Life Is in the Transitions: Mastering Change at Any Age
In the messy middle.
The winters.
The dry seasons.
This is where the work is being done.
Not the work we do but the work that’s being done within us.
Getting lost to be found.
From cocoon to butterfly.
Doors, thresholds, transformational ground.
Walk it with fresh eyes, open heart and ease.
Trust the journey.
“Primed to expect that our lives will follow a predictable path, we’re thrown when they don’t. We have linear expectations but nonlinear realities… We’re all comparing ourselves to an ideal that no longer exists and beating ourselves up for not achieving it.”― Bruce Feiler, Life Is in the Transitions: Mastering Change at Any Age
