HALTINGLY FORWARD

"Those who expect moments of change to be comfortable and free of conflict have not learned their history."
~ Joan Wallach Scott ~

Forward movement is rarely a straight line. It tends to zig-zag and backtrack and u-turn such that it hardly even feels like forward at all. And yet, we do make progress. We gather information and grow. We learn. We make mistakes and adjust accordingly. We adapt and improvise. And life goes on. The sun rises and sets, and carries us with it, and at some point, we find ourselves way down the road and look back, and can't even remember how it is exactly that we ended up where we are.

I trust the momentum of life.
