We are in a weird time. Take a deep breath…
The people of Northern Ireland have a phrase for this kind of challenging time. They might refer to it as a Correymeela which means, The Lumpy Crossing Place. The landscape is shifting, the map is changing, the weather is mixed with an 80% chance of chaos. It is lumpy, but it is manageable and important that we keep moving with eyes and hearts wide open and our vision set on the horizon.
Let’s remember to practice Mindful Walking as we move forward. If something breaks your stride, either metaphorically or literally, pay attention. Quite often the interruption is the whole point.
Be well, Everyone.
