“The notion that our lives are like the eternal cycle of the seasons does not deny the struggle or the joy, the loss or the gain,
the darkness or the light, but encourages us to embrace it all-and to find in all of it opportunities for growth.”

 - Parker J. Palmer

As the world rotates, I spin, checking things off my list.
I find beauty in the forest one morning,
wrap presents come nightfall, and tell myself over and over . . .
You can do this.
