Grief blurs the details
available as revealed.
Confusion shields doubt
beyond our comprehension.
Knowing is only part of
the saddening experience.
Learning more complicates
the facts of the matter.
Our ever-present humanity
is unhesitatingly interrupted.
We need time to truly feel;
only time allows us to heal.

It is how you look at all that is going on.
Perspective.
What we see, and how we see it, can be as baffling as it is rewarding.
We need the light to shine into the deepest crevices, yet in the darkness we are more likely to find the solutions that often escape us. We are forced to look harder to see even the obvious.
Will you follow the light into those darker spaces?

The other side of the shadow is
softer than before.
Daylight growing stronger, soon to
be much more.
Frustrations felt just yesterday
may fade throughout today.
You, only you, will approach them
as you try to make your way.

One month into this new year, and still I have not settled into all I had intended to do.
Sure, there has been all that snow and the disparaging cold, and I’ve managed to keep moving through it all. Yet, my to-do list has yet to be tackled.
I can only call it procrastination.
I have plans to complete certain things this year (a goal more than an intention), and already a month has passed. That gives me far less time; February is already a shorter month than most.
Certainly, it is now time to get going before March comes along.
