Midwinter

We write the stories in retrospect.
These days when it doesn’t make sense, this place no one has ever been before. There is comfort in other peoples stories, others doing the work of making sense of the times. But this future is the unknown. Perhaps it would be easier to be a few steps back with someone else to do the work of understanding it for us, but the time comes when we just need to step forward as the earth turns.
Hold it together, believe that it is going to be alright, that there will be a way. And the time will come, when we look back, and make sense of it all. We will write the stories in retrospect, but even then there is a new future to be bravely faced.
It will be fun to see that it all fits into place, but for now… walk on.
