To be sure, this year has given us an extra large dose of uncertainty, and if you’re like me, a fair amount of discomfort with not knowing what lies around the bend. Making plans to see friends, family, travelling, where and how to work . . . it has all become unpredictable. Some of us are better than others under these circumstances, but honestly, I’m sure we’re all at the point of ‘enough already’. We’re eager for the freedom we once had to plan our lives, but that may have to wait a while longer yet
This much is certain: the starlight shines so much brighter in a dark sky, than in a fog. We have a chance now to seek out and follow that guiding star that shines so brightly. We’ve been forced to slow down, to take a breath and re-evaluate so many facets of our lives. There’s a lot of good that has come from this self-reflection. Let’s not let that go to waste. Whatever your creative path, let’s remember this time, and maybe even document our thoughts, so that we don’t forget the promises we’ve made to ourselves to transform our way of life. Let’s turn it inside out; let the discomfort of uncertainty transform into an appreciation for the awe-inspiring mystery of the unknown.
