Resilience
Resilience is the capacity to adapt easily to change; to recover from adversity. I am not so sure about the ‘easily’ part, but I am confident in the process. My personal experience and the experiences of countless others who have adapted to change, often radical, in a positive way is substantive and inspiring.
As we enter third-stage-labor in the birthing of a new age, change is most often abrupt, abrasive and dis-heartening. Added to the normal constant, adapting can become overwhelming. Finding strength in body, mind and spirit is essential for experiencing resilience.
To those of you whose stories I know and whose struggle I witness, I salute your resilience. Your ability to keep moving forward, to smile in the face adversity, to weep when sadness intrudes too deeply, to find beauty and humor in the daily conundrum. You inspire me! I thank you!
