Reflection #26 Moving Forward

Beginning Again: Reflection #26
Moving Forward

Whether on the first
or tenth draft of our life,
the task remains—
to keep moving forward.

Through all its fragility,
its messiness and beauty,
its shimmering hope—
we go on.

Our present, wiser self
leans close and whispers
with compassion,
“What has it all meant?”

Time stretches our insight—
and from this wider view
what once felt urgent or unfair
now softens into understanding.

So, hopefully,
through risk and adversity,
we have matured.

And we keep revising—
draft by draft—
toward wholeness.
