When in an unfamiliar place,
you are on your way.
It usually comes with lots of tension.
You become unsettled,
and maybe even a little bit scared.
Transitions are that rocky time
when your usual patterns are useless
and you have to allow for
change.
The big ones are literally
earth-shattering,
setting you off kilter,
making you feel raw and
vulnerable.
But when you get to the other side,
you are in that shiny spot of
All New.
You have grown new muscle, and
you are reborn.
When this freedom flowers,
you realize that
the pain of change
was nothing but
the peeling of the layers
that are no longer needed.
