Letting things go is always hard, letting go hopes and dreams is even harder. This trip has been quite a journey full of memories and sadness and making space for a new life. Watching children grow helps you understand that nothing stays the same and the only thing we can count on is right now, being present for those around us and finding joy and happiness in who and what is right here right now, tomorrow will be what it is. So with fresh eyes I see that I no longer need to be so focussed on where I am going and I can let go and just let my crazy journey work itself out. Somehow when I tried to plan and create it myself it ever worked, this is less stressful and disappointing.
I love dogwoods and they are still blooming in Seward Park for my last day in Seattle. They are never gone, just sometimes they are at a different stage of growth and next time they bloom there will be even more. I hope I am there to enjoy it.
