Dear Creators,

Seeing the bright blue sky today is very welcome. We are in this very slow shift from winter to warmth. We appreciate every sign that we are on the way to new growth, to being outside, to the aliveness and freshness of spring. Nature provides us with this in-between place, this transition place. It is no longer winter – but it is not yet a warm spring day.

Being in this in-between place is not always comfortable. There is a tendency to long for the future...to not appreciate what is...to think of this as just a waiting place to be endured until the good part shows up. Sound familiar? There are many circumstances where we can think this way. It can become a pattern, a habit.

There is a certain away of being with this place of transition – of not yet being at the destination – or reaching that milestone – or achieving the goal. There is something about holding steady in anticipation - to stay confident that all is well and will unfold perfectly. There is something about holding the focus on what is going on right now – at the present moment. What is there to do? What action is called for? Where to put attention now? And, there are things to let go of...rigid thinking about how this “should be,” needless worry that is draining and unproductive.

The trees will bud, the lilacs will bloom and I will sit out in my yard with a book and cool drink all in good time. What is this the perfect time for?

Here and now,

Judy
