Umalone Thoughts

One often hears that each ending is a new beginning, but what about the time in between?

Where your past is still standing right next to you. And the future has not yet revealed itself.

This time is allowing room to learn from the experience and draw wisdom.

It is not an easy task and at times one would like to skip this and just move on to something new.

That is not how Life works, it has its own rhythm and does not allow you to fast forward through this transition period.

Change is constant and can not be avoided, one grows with each challenge and gains perspective and strength.

At times one wishes to go back. Particularly when the change was not brought on by oneself but rather happened on it"s own, then it can be painful to accept what cannot be changed back.

Like Autumn, that gives the leaves to the wind, I release my past.

The emotions are still inside of me, engraved their story into my bones.

The presence in all my thoughts is becoming less,

Summer will turn them into memories.

And just like Winter leaves Autumn behind, I softly close the door.

Rest, breathe, gather strength and with head held high continue to live on.
