There will be times

A short essay from 2021, revised for today

There will be times of liminal space, of being neither here nor there, of being far from where we were, but not able to see where we are going.

There will be times when we don’t understand why, why things changed, why now, why me, why us, why them.

There will be times when we don’t know if we did something wrong, if we were misunderstood, if we caused harm without meaning to.

There will be times when we feel confused, lost, when we can’t find ground, when our compass seems broken.
