Yesterday and Today. You close your eyes to end one day, fall asleep, and if you're lucky, you drift off into a far off place of magic in your dreams. When you open your eyes again, everything is different. Except not. You stand in the same place you stood yesterday morning, take in the view of the same tree, same yard, same house. But the air is colder, and someone is draping a white blanket of snow upon the bit of spring that had begun to stir. It makes me think of Pema Chodron's quote "You are the sky. Everything else – it’s just the weather." Except maybe we are the earth as well? Maybe are ground and rock and roots and growth. We weather the seasons. We turn our faces toward the sun and we stretch for the light. We grow between the cracks of a changing world, and with our blooms we delight those who slow down enough to see us. I have absolutely no idea what the weather will bring tomorrow, a week from now, or months from now, but I will still be me and you will still be you. And I see you. Trying to find the light and warmth. Trying to grow. Trying to keep up with the changes. We all are. In the meantime, we will do our best to shake off the snow and await the eventual arrival of spring without interruption. There will be rain showers and storms, of that I'm sure - but we'll get through those, too. We will. #littleclosetwindow #westchester #northernwestchester #katonah #amwriting #writer #artist #blogger #personalgrowth #westchesterartist #artsWestchester #perserverance #leapoffaith #personaldevelopment #divorce #singleparent #hope #chasinglight #community #ivegotyou #imrighthere https://www.instagram.com/p/B-E2v91JQXZ/?igshid=1m22ylrybpl4w
