Before The Threshold of Change

Wandering Without Wisdom
The threshold we enter just before  change is discomfiting… for we are in unmarked territory on the way to somewhere else. Here the old knowns are wearing thin and the new possibilities are yet vague hopes. 

It is hard for us  brain heavy humans, to live in ignorance on the way to our wisdom… and then to relish our times of deep certainty, only to lose it again.
   

When my patients  wander in the pre-known, fretful and disenchanted, it is so much easier to enter into a spirit of  respectful regard for them,  then it  ever is for myself.  The experience  of offering this  simple grace for many years, has nourished my own patience for my foolish self.
