The morning after a night of rain, find yourself in an open green space.
Close your eyes. Take a deep breath in and out.
Notice the scent and sounds that capture your attention.
Open your eyes. Take a deep breath in and out.
Notice the colours and textures that you see.
Feel the weight lifted.

The moments of joy in between where I've been and where I'm going.
The person I was and the person I'm yet to encounter.
Making room for emotional disturbance in order to ignite growth. Revelling in the mundane moments — it is a transitional experience.
