Everything’s Changin’
It really is hard to make out the forest from the trees.
I imagine that, instead of being overwhelmed by the trees, you have to take it one tree at a time, and when you get to the end, you can walk away, turn around, and discover the forest.
I also imagine that the old saying “take life one day at a time” is a lot like that as well.
Maybe, when stuck in the middle, if you take it one tree at a time, and have a plan to go from one tree to the next, you can reach the edge of the forest, not only successfully, but with a feeling of accomplishment.
So, that is my plan. One day at a time, one tree at a time. I want to be out of the forest. I want to be able to turn around, and not hate the forest for having trapped me, but to be able to see it for what it is, for making me who I am. I imagine it has done a lot to make me stronger, smarter, more prepared to make my own choices.
I may just be getting to the point now where I can see glimmers of sunlight through the leaves, but it is enough to make me press forward. It is my glimmer of hope.
