Hope: Change on the horizon

“Sunrise on choppy sea”

Sold the cupboard a couple days ago. Started packing boxes yesterday. So liberating! 

Just sold my bicycle this morning — bittersweet feelings for that… 

My swimmer/artist friend said they sense a “sproutiness” in me at the moment, like I’m “a seed starting to grow sprouts” — I love this image and believe it captures my recent and current emotions very well. 

Today I’m feeling tired but happy. And hopeful. Tired from a lot of positive, constructive activities. Hopeful from change on my horizon.

Moving to California six years ago was one of the best decisions of my life — probably my best one to date. But moving away from California now, at least temporarily, feels just as good, just as liberating!

Yes, my friend, I feel like I’m a seed now starting to sprout: I can feel my deeper, healthier goals and dreams and wishes taking form, finally shaking layers of dust or frost off — like shoots slowly starting to grow, preparing for the springtime. 

I just hope to be able to hold all these feelings well enough to allow the dreams to take form concretely and in a healthier way than in the past…
