2024-2025
Meditating on the correlation of seasons and cycles in my life, I've come to realize there is a time for moments of growth, reflection, rebirth, and rest. There is an expectation to always be "in season", growing and always pushing farther, faster, and stronger. There are natural cycles that take place and the societal expectation is to ignore them and strive for consistency. This winter I’ve been taking as many doses of vitamin D and praying for days where the sun pokes through the clouds. Realizing that I’m just out of season, I don’t expect daffodils in December, snow in July, or a Super Bowl win in August. Not damaged. Not broken or defective. Just out of season.
