Naturally

Reviewing my posts and my private journal, I find most of my experiences are described in terms of natural processes. Whether it is the strengthening wings or the burrowing roots, the changes are a necessary part of natural growth. This particular year in my life has been one of dramatic almost traumatic alterations. I see so very much that is good and nurturing in this new life, but a danger is always present.

Will I continue in a healthy growth pattern or will I bend and wither under the pressures of this growth? Can I use the pain and struggle to expand and bloom, or will I fold into myself and become simply an empty husk? There is no clear answer. However, what is becoming clear is that I control the process by my reaction to this New World. The power is within me and is not dependent on the circumstances around me. I will become the person of strength and courage that I choose to fight for.
