FORM-Idea

Experience has taught me that we all live by internal clocks. There is a time and a place for everything. Trusting these internal clocks is tricky because as we age, we become fearful of change so the only way we will embrace change is when it is forcibly imposed on us. We lose relationships, jobs, homes, loved ones and all of a sudden, the world we knew and had carefully constructed over a number of years has vanished leaving us vulnerable, panic-stricken and defeated.

What might have been a lush green landscape several years earlier has become barren. We don’t know what to do, where to turn, how to act. We feel lost, depressed, adrift. This may last for a while until life starts knocking at our door again. We may temporarily feel like checking out of life but life never checks out on us. It ropes us back in through duty, responsibility and need. Life all around us needs us and reminds us that it is not all about us. There is a bigger game at play that we have to engage with.

Life events are not as unpredictable as we would like to believe. The changing tides of our work life are often felt a while before we notice their impact. The same happens in relationships. The cold north wind makes itself felt long before and we hope that it is not a portent but rather a seasonal blip we need to endure. Sometimes it is.

Being on the green road doesn’t mean we wake up smiling every day. Every road is rough, full of unexpected rocks and dangerous potholes but we stay on it because it feels right. A green road supports and sustains us as well as challenges us. We get invisible help if only we could trust a little more. At some point, we will need to change course again but as long as the road is green then all is well with our destiny. We all want to avoid difficult paths because they will always find us in the end. However much we avoid them, we ultimately always end up where we need to be.
