I’ve experienced some challenging periods in my life. One, in particular, was like a tsunami leveling everything. Looking around at the remaining shards, I could see no way to piece together my former life. The only question that remained was, “What now? Where do I go from here?”
If I found myself lamenting what was lost or playing those old recordings in my head, I would simply say, “There is not one thing I can do about any of that.” I would bring myself back to this moment and ask, “What now?”
All the “what ifs” and “should haves” would not help me feel better but would keep me in the very dark place I found myself in.
Slowly, like a tiny bud breaking through hard soil, I saw evidence of a new life emerging in the rubble. That bud flowered and another and another until I found myself standing in a more beautiful garden than anything I could have imagined.
Sometimes, the old has to fall away to make room for a new life that wants to blossom, but it’s never last year’s garden or yesterday’s. The only time is now.
