THIS SEASON IS TEACHING YOU MANY THINGS

The pace of a river is a beautiful balance between strength and calmness. As the water moves along its path, it can be fast and powerful or slow and peaceful. Sometimes, the river rushes quickly, creating exciting rapids and a sense of energy. Other times, it slows down, gently flowing and providing a peaceful atmosphere. The pace of a river reminds us of the constant changes in nature and life.

As the year begins to wind down, and you feel all of the rush but also a need for rest, may the pace you are traveling through be like the pace of the river, embracing the essence of balance and fluidity. Just as the river gracefully adapts to the varying landscapes it encounters, may you navigate through life with a harmonious rhythm, effortlessly adjusting to the challenges and opportunities that come your way. 

Let your journey be marked by gentle yet purposeful movement, allowing for moments of excitement and tranquility in equal measure. May you find the strength to surge forward when needed, carving your own path with determination, and also the wisdom to slow down and savor the moments of stillness and reflection. May the pace of the river inspire you to embrace the ever-changing nature of life, finding serenity amidst the currents of existence.

Even here, you are learning to be steadfast, embodying the river's enduring nature amidst its changing flows. Even here, you are evolving, mirroring the river as it shapes and is shaped by the landscapes it traverses. You are finding your way through this with both your efforts and rest. This is what it means to pace yourself. And just like a river, you are finding your way through the landscape.

More tomorrow...
