reflections on two months.

I've started this post three different times now.

I don't really know what to say.

I guess the best way to describe the way I've changed in the past month is this: I've stopped looking at this phase of my life as an ending.  I'm learning instead to see a beginning.


...and what a beautiful, difficult, exhausting, terrifying, exciting, snowy beginning it has turned out to be.

God speaks to each of us as he makes us,
then walks with us silently out of the night.
These are the words we dimly hear:
You, sent out beyond your recall,
Go to the limits of your longing.
Embody me.
Flare up like flame
and make big shadows I can move in
Let everything happen to you:
beauty and terror.
Just keep going. No feeling is final.
Don't let yourself lose me.
Nearby is a country they call life.
You will know it by its seriousness.
Give me your hand.

-Rainer Maria Rilke
