Last evening a friend shared with us an experience he had while swimming laps at his local YMCA. It seems, though he had competed in the medley as a youth, recent health issues affected his abilities, and as he switched to the backstroke from his usual breaststroke something went wrong. He was all over the place and clearly disoriented. Helpless to sort it out, unnerved.
Transitions can be disorienting. Thankfully, this has been a long fall in terms of color and temperature allowing leisurely opportunities to notice the patterns surrounding us. But just on the other side will be holidays marking new seasons serving to hold the balance, setting the course.
