Mid-life: A Difficult but Necessary Period of TransitionMid-life is a time of transition and during this period of crisis you are eager for new beginnings… but how? You're under the impression of journeying into the darkness of the night or in a black tunnel with no tangible barriers other than your life-history as guidance. You are insecure and full of doubts about yourself, about your abilities; trusting in life becomes an issue. You feel the urgency of making radical changes or decisions, yet you hesitate as you ignore the future outcome. On the other end, you know that if you risk nothing – you will gain nothing… The minutes become hours, and the hours become days… you’re running in circles wondering what would be your best outcome! You understand that the solution will not be given to you in twenty-four hours… I’ve translated this French poem from Michèle Roberge, the author of the book "Tant d’hivers au coeur du changement". As you read it, you will recognize the feelings encountered during this difficult but necessary period of transition.
Mid-Life-Crisis
Damn winter…! Damn roaming! So much time wasted not knowing what to do: Emptiness, margin, discomfort, indecision Period of stagnation, hesitation, fog and doubts Period of emptiness, wasted time… Damn roaming! I want to desperately see the end I want to journey out….finally!
Why such a tribute to winter, In this life-time period of pause?
Damn season or season unappreciated? Despicable season or season despised? Unknown season or a season to rediscover? A season we must acknowledge.
