THERE IS STILL ROOM

When everything is constantly changing, I hope you can find beautiful change. Even if it's nothing more than a small moment of observing a cloud shifting in the sky and you find yourself observing its slow, gentle movement, I hope it can become an invitation to explore: what might it look like for you to have space to breathe in the same way?

Of course, your life as a human is much different than the cloud's, but perhaps this small moment could be a reminder that amidst the fast-paced nature of the modern world, it still matters to seek out any little thing that makes space for a more measured pace and gentleness. And even if, at times, that sense of calm feels as far away as those clouds, what remains true is that you are allowed to seek out space where you can change and grow without constant pressure to keep up at everyone else's pace.

Even if everything in life doesn't look like this kind of freeing version of embracing change without rushing all at once, may there be at least one place in your life where you can just be amidst life's whirlwinds and demands. After everything you've been through, may there be room in this life for you to live with intention and carry onward at a gentle pace, where you can experience some of the things that can be good about change: finding joy in small things, exploring new ways of living, and discovering that all along, there was room for you. All along, you were allowed to seek out space, amid all that felt confining. May you know these are things you are free to pursue.

More tomorrow...  
Sincerely,
