“For last year's words belong to last year's language,
And next year's words await another voice -
To make an end is to make a beginning.” ~ T.S. Eliot

"And do not worry that your life is turning upside down.

How do you know that the side you are used to is better than the one to come?" ~ Rumi (Sculpture: Siegfried Krepp Photo: Schiwago)

A gem from David Whyte :)

IT MUST BE

…It must be
we are waiting
for the perfect moment.

It must be
under all the struggle
we want to go on.

It must be,
that deep down,
we are creatures
getting ready
for when we are needed.

It must be that waiting
for the listening ear
or the appreciative word,
for the right
woman or the right man
or the right moment
just to ourselves,

we are getting ready
just to be ready

and nothing else.

Like this moment
just before the guests arrive
working
alone in the kitchen
sensing a deep
down symmetry
in every blessed thing.

The way
that everything
unbeknownst
to us
is preparing
to meet us too.

Just on the other
side of the door
someone
is about to knock
and our life
is just
about to change

and finally
after all these
years rehearsing,
behind
the curtain,

we might
just be
ready
to go on.
