Turning the Page

November 13, 2012 Off By Lisa

Time passed. Phase completed. Mission accomplished.

My breath of fresh air last night gave me just the inspiration I needed to push through to these “ends.” Now I can turn the page, smooth the book open, and begin the next chapter.

Like a good book, though, what has already been read remains just beneath the surface, just a bit behind where we are right now. Those words are part of our memory, part of our conscious, and part of how we will interpret what comes now and what comes next.

Starting a new chapter is exciting. It is tempting to continue reading to see how the next scene plays out. But sometimes, it is best to turn off the light and lay the book aside…to rest and reflect before turning the next page.
