Shifting our natural gaze

We’re in such a hurry.

We want answers now. Or at least the promise of a solution by tomorrow.

Yet, the seasons are not in a rush.

They ebb and flow with a gravitational pull beyond our making.

And what’s our contribution?

It’s hard for us to look deep enough to see how separate we have become.

Shielded, at least for a time, with an artificial cloak that doesn’t cover our nakedness.

Woven from busyness and a belief that we can have it all.

But we were never meant to. That’s not how relationships work.
