Let there be light

It is appropriate that the New England spring arrival would bring with it other upheavals, changes, room for growth. Call it New Beginnings, represented by the koru fern of New Zealand.

I say, let there be light.

After the rains, room for more lightheartedness. A focus back on me, what makes me happy. I didn't realize how much I was missing physical and emotional light.

A painful move to a new apartment, now surrounded by more than a dozen windows almost floor to ceiling high, letting in precious sun. I feel like I finally stopped holding my breath.

There will be many lonely moments, to be sure. Many more tears to shed, but with that necessary space to grow and be and live and laugh. Time to enjoy the light, the lightness.
