Just a little more than a week ago, I wrote a piece on this blog, entitled, Forest Bathing. I shared about my experience walking around the Scio Woods Preserve in Michigan and what it is like to be surrounded by trees with all their life-giving connections. I also shared a photo (above) of their green leaves.
I went back yesterday, and those trees are vibrant with varieties of color.
Things can change quickly.
I found myself reflecting on this. Sometimes, we feel this in our bodies too, including in painful ways. Ever feel like you’re just waiting for the next shoe to drop? We’ve all been there.
But also, what about the rapid, beautiful changes? Those happen too. Maybe waiting to put the next shoe on? Sometimes, we are also astounded my turnarounds, new opportunities, expressions of beauty, or a sense of being brought back to the core goodness of things. This can be true in experiences, in relationships, in living.
Things can change quickly.
