Beginning. Middle. End.

Beginning. Middle. End. 
The rains have come to wash away the last remains of winter and take us from spring and into summer. Just as the sun rises every morning and each evening it sets; nature continues in its cycle, always on time and never behind. 


We watch this cycle year after year, and yet forget that we are also a part of it. And for some reason we cling to the past, to our former self. Why is it that we can't accept transition with open arms the way nature does? Fear. We don't know what the future holds, therefore we cling to the past, and in turn miss out on the present. 


Let us learn to let go of that fear and to embrace change. Let us rid ourselves of old habits that no longer serve us, so as to make space for new. As we practice becoming more attuned to the cycles around us - of their beginnings, middle, and endings - may we learn to also become a part of the cycle. May we learn to stop fearing what lies ahead and to know that the rains will always arrive to wash us clean and prepare us for the next season our lives hold.
