JUST A MOMENT: A CHANGE WITHIN THE SAME

https://youtu.be/-NVhlWgtAFU?si=DoMOTk-TqSETY3KC

A tree is a tree is a tree until the Fall and then it becomes a work of art and even a superior Object Lesson  

It’s still green.

But if you look closely, you can see that some of its leaves are already beginning to change.

And maybe that’s the way life works.

We often think we have to finish one season before we can begin another.

But nature doesn’t work that way.

The tree doesn’t wake up one morning and suddenly become autumn.

It changes slowly.

Quietly.

A little green remains while a little red begins to appear.

And perhaps we are like that tree.

We can still be who we have been while becoming who we are going to be.

We can still carry pieces of yesterday while making room for tomorrow.

We can be healing and still hurting.

Growing and still uncertain.

Grateful for where we’ve been while wondering where we’re going.

Maybe changing doesn’t mean that something is wrong with us.

Maybe it simply means our season is changing.

So if you find yourself somewhere between what was and what will be, be patient with yourself.

You don’t have to have it all figured out.

You may simply be…

still green,
still growing,
and already changing.

Just a moment.

Maybe that’s enough for today because: 

Sometimes change isn’t about becoming someone different. Sometimes it’s about revealing what was already there and remains even as it so magically changes in a time imposed moment. . . .
