Honoring the Process

Just as winter will not last forever -- of that we may be certain (unless we head into another ice age); so too this trouble or conflict will not last forever.  It is the law.  Things progress.  There is a rhythm of life.  It seems as I reflect that life is often without ups or downs -- those periods are times for which I am grateful, then there are brief (sometimes they do not feel brief) periods of distress, and there are also brief periods of great enjoyment.  It is a rhythm.  Let's remember that the next time we are dealing with a crisis.  It too shall pass.  Equilibrium does not skip its turn.
