Reflections on Change

I am not going out there this morning

It is a very cold morning in Winooski.  The sun is bright, but somehow the air temperature is still below zero.  It has been half a year now that I have been living in Vermont.  Each time I stop to reflect I notice that I feel a little more settled, a little more familiar, a little more at home here. 

When I hold that in mind while thinking of all the people I have been fortunate to work with in my CST practice, each of them is in their unique way inviting change; when they sit up and describe how they feel different from when they walked in, I am reminded that change continues to ripple and flow.  

There are big moments, like moving to a new city, or acknowledging something to yourself that you have been ignoring for years, or letting the tears flow that have been stifled, or feeling a deep peace you forgot could be yours, or humbly accepting that you don’t need to carry all the burdens of your family and that its ok to lay them down etc…  

These big moments of change are followed by a more subtle process.  The slow filling in.  The growing of a new stalk and leaves.  Allowing the true you to embody a place in yourself that had been blocked.

We are all going through it and growing through it. 

I am grateful for Sunday mornings when there is a pause long enough to notice.  And good job you!  You are living and being you in this life.  Keep going! 

Glad to be in this with you!
