As winter turns to spring,
there are days
when it seems
spring takes a few steps
forward
and
days when she takes a few steps
back
before coming into her own.
One would think nature
should have
perfected
this change
by now
since she’s been practicing for
ages.
But, if this is the nature of change,
forward then back,
clear then stormy,
why do we think
our lives,
our work,
our plans,
our projects,
our dreams,
will move forward
on a linear progression?
