‘After a While’

“After a while you learn the subtle differences between holding a hand and chaining a soul, and you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t mean security, and you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child. And you learn to build all your roads on today, because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight. After a while you learn that even sunchine burns if you get too much so you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers and you learn that you really can endure… That you really are strong and you really do have worth, and you learn and learn… with every good bye you learn. “


Transition …I wanto to talk about transition – just because that’s what I’ve been going through for the last year. Moving to a new place, alone, not knowing a soul… it’s not always an easy thing to do. You meet new people, try new things, make mistakes and most of all learn important lessons.I heard a song yesterday on the radio and knew I was “there”. Where is “there”? Home. I’ve never been one to hang on to a past life because I was scared of a new one, but there’s a comfort in what is known to someone. The song is called “Dead and Gone” and the chorus, I hear over and over again…. ” I’ve been travelin’ on this road too long, just tryin’ to find my way back home, but the old me’s dead and gone, dead and gone”. I think to myself, no one wants to be in a “between” place and sometimes moving forward is kind of scary, so we carry on in the fashion we’ve become accustomed to and before you know it our lives are robotic, if you will, predictable. When I think of “home”, I think of being settled, peaceful, a strength in my heart – not oblivious to everyday life; I’m not blind, I know there will be struggles and stress at times and that’s okay. Bring it on, that’s how I learn. I can have “home” and still experience an everchanging life.Knowing what the word transitionmeans, I looked it up anyway and this is what the dictionary says about transition: ” a : passage from one state, stage, subject, or place to another : change b : a movement, development, or evolution from one form, stage, or style to another.” Yep, that’s me and how great it is! I hope and with God’s blessing, to never NOT be transitioning in some style. My life, full of transitioning moments, is stocked with excitment, challenge and best of all, reward.I also found some great synonyms: about-face, development, metamorphosis, refinement, variation and even distortion. Additionally, I liked: moment of truth, zero hour and point of no return. So while I’m trying to find “home”, my transitions will always be an important part of my life, my moments of truth. Home will always be in my heart, not where, but HOW I make it and I like the idea of it being the “zero hour” and where it becomes “A point of no return”.
