Change

"Knowing a place takes time. Plotting the sun, reading the light, learning the birds, recognizing the voices. I like to walk a regular path. To see a shrub in all its seasons. I have become attached, and have always resented letting go."

Closing the book on a big portion of my life was initially annoying, frustrating, then I realized it was self propelled, expected, the better option.

The landscape is now altered. I must carve out new patterns, mark the moon, learn a new language. Maybe the package of what is to come is a good package, and what will make me happier. But sometimes change is just change. It takes effort and determination. A lot of energy. 

I'm excited.
