In a Fog
There are some things in my life that are in a fog right now. Stuff is hard to see. I’m not sure how the road will end. I can only see a little bit in front of my face. I can’t predict the twists and turns. I can only put one foot in front of the other trusting that the fog will lift in time. But until then, I can also do what this sign says in front of me. Stop. Be. Stop. Heal. Stop. Learn. Stop. I don’t always have to be doing. I don’t always have to be productive. I don’t always have to have the right answers. Or THE answers. I don’t have to know what to do 5 steps down the road. I just need to be here— In the fog; observing what is RIGHT HERE. Noticing the life that is up close and not straining to see the stuff that is further down the road and out of my view. Being in the fog isn’t bad, it’s just hard. It’s different. Fog is hard. Fog makes life feel hard. But it helps me stop and notice that my life is a series of steps—one small, hard step at a time.
