hey, a few weeks ago i found my way into a metaphor that explains very well how i am right now: it’s sap season. the rhythm of freeze and thaw is so present. forward-backward, up-down, frozen-flowing. it so many areas of my life that’s how things feel. one step forward, let’s get going; one step backward, let’s slow down or stop. it’s a weird time. not good, not bad, not just weird. and a lot.
