A Season for Change

A change of course in our direction
A dash of truth spread thinly like a flag...

Running from March onward, deep into spring.
It looks as though I've gotten here without much time to reflect. It's still the Year of Balance, though. I can't sleep much this spring, but I'm not really restless. Lately I've been watching movies. Yes, watching right through the whole thing. It's an unusual stillness for me--letting something else guide my thoughts. Just along for the ride. It's interesting how I can feel there is so much change on the horizon, just past the calm I feel now. Resting and thinking for a moment before changing course. Inevitable or a choice? How long do you wait for the inevitable before realizing it's all about choice?
