I had a friend write me a letter once right before a big move. She refered to the different periods of my life as "seasons" and I thought it was beautiful.
Seasons come and go. Some seem long and others fly by way too fast. Often they change so gradually you hardly notice that they have switched.
This season of my life has been unexpected. So many changes that I feel dizzy.
When I was young I wanted to be a ballerina. When taught to twirl, the instructor required that before we even began our turn, we were to select one spot on the wall. As we started spinning faster and faster we were to move our head so our eyes remained constantly on our preselected spot. This allowed us to maintain our balance. The minute we lost focus, we would become wobbly and at times even tumble to the ground.
This lesson has become increasingly important as changes all around me cause me to spin. Focus is the secret. Focus on something that is strong, immovable and ever-consistant. This week has been a vivid reminder.
Essential even.
