“Our job is not to comprehend or control everything but to learn which story we are in and which of the many things calling out in the world is calling to us.
Our job is to be fully alive in the life we have, to pick up the invisible thread of our own story and follow where it leads.”


Michael Meade


The fertile path
woven from the stories of our life
and traced among our regrets, successes, and failures
is shaped by our doubts, fears, and hesitation,
but also by our dreams, hopes, and perseverance.


You’ve been walking the fertile path for a long time
but fog may have made the path invisible.
Maybe the storms have been strong and sustained, and
maybe, the dark edge in you has taken its toll.


Maybe you forgot to look behind you
and see love and light urging you forward.
There is light in the darkness and an invitation in doubt,
an invitation to turn it around and let it point the way to healing.


Maybe in your effort to keep going at all costs
you forgot that rest and inspiration are
the wings that can carry you forth, and
there is nothing wrong with that
because forgetting and remembering again
are also part of this path of yours.


What if you named the fears,
confronted the doubt and let them show you the way
to something new and hopeful that is already waiting for you?
