“Move, travel, take a class, take a risk. There is a season for wildness and a season for settledness, and this is neither. This season is about becoming.”
~Shauna Niequist
I came across a post from a couple of months ago and the whisper of it still echos load and clear, so I thought I’d share it again.
It’s like someone went through my soul with a wrecking ball and busted out a wall to free some dormant emotions. I’ve been seeing things differently and looking at others with eyes that aren’t so much my own, at least not what my own used to be, and yet they are.
I know I’m going in circles right now like a cat chasing their own tail and you’re just wondering, “When are they going to realize what they’re doing?” And you know what? I have absolutely no idea. Have I been looking at the same things? Yes. But I’m seeing with more color, I’m looking deeper, I’m feeling more. I think that sometimes with change, which in itself is never easy to naturally accept because there is always an innate reaction to fight it, but when you begin to embrace it that’s when you see differently. So I may be looking at the same things, but seeing more. And if change is the catalyst, that proverbial cat tail that has me spinning around in circles… deep, colorful, exciting circles… then BRING IT.
I’m relishing this season of risk and change, and embracing this time of becoming.

~ season of becoming. What a lovely notion. In the midst of it all that, to me, would be at leas a somewhat settling thought. Lots to relate to and reflect on here!
