The Way

By Cara Chang Mutert

Sometimes life feels empty. Sometimes life feels full.

Like the breath, it is the way.

As winter blows in, the cyclical tide of life crystallizes.

Letting go of the warmth of summer, welcomes the warmth of family and friends.

Finding solace in nature is replaced by the comfort of hot tea, warm socks and a good book.

Each change of season ushers in new perspective.

It begs the question: What does this next shift mean for me?

So too, the seasons of life signal a time for introspection.

Like an archaeological dig, the answers come slowly.

What will this next expedition reveal?

With patience, endurance, tenderness and tenacity, a glimmer is unearthed.

Discovery unveils new questions.

Like the breath, it is the way.
