So far 2013
has been a bit more stressful than I expected.
My father died in March, my granddaughter re-enlisted in the Navy and is
being sent to the ends of the earth for a year without her one year old
daughter, and my grandson left for boot camp a few days ago.
My life has
been put on hold four times since Christmas because of health issues (last day
of antibiotics for the latest one) putting everything behind, including the
studio.
Life is
slowly getting back to normal but I wonder...what am I failing to see that I
need to be stopped in my tracks and hit over the head again and again and again...
I thought I
had at been moving in the right direction but apparently there is something I
am still not seeing and the universe has a different plan for me.
At this
point my life feels like a maze I can't find my way out of but I don't know
what the answer is so I read and I write and I rest and I wonder but I let it
go and I back track and I take a right turn instead of a left and I pay
attention.
Because maybe
what I think is a maze is really a labyrinth.
Maybe the walls I am beating my head against are not dead ends at all
but the normal twists and turns of life and I need to keep moving toward the
center but slow down and accept what is...
...because
AT THE END OF THE DAY...life goes on.
