Finally the End

The trees outside stand still after a three-day snowstorm. They aren't waiting for a new beginning in spring. They know it'll come. Nature has trust.

Does knowing that a new beginning is coming mean that waiting is unnecessary?

You've accepted an end when you know that a new beginning is on it's way. An ending comes with a chore. A task I call “letting go.”

In spring, the warmth of the sun will melt the snow. New green leaves will appear on the trees. The fallen leaves from last fall lie dead on the ground. Nature will take care of them. They'll disappear.

The trees won't go back and hold on to the fallen leaves. They carry on.

Why do people stay stuck in relationships after they've ended? Why is it so hard to move on?

Nothing in nature ever stays the same.

Every now and then the farmers change what they sow in order to be able to harvest safely in the fall. They go with the change and achieve a positive result.

Change and letting go are the process for the soil to recover. The farmers accept this and change the seeds from time to time.

If you hold on to old times, long-lost opportunities or relationships, you won't harvest in the fall.

The farmers scatter the seeds and look ahead. Never back.

What direction are you looking in life? Back or forward? What will you do to strengthen the ground beneath your feet? What do you want to more of in your life?
