Transitions are those periods in our lives when the thick skin of habit that protects us surrenders to possibilities of growth and renewal. We experience an inner thawing that renders us sensitive and vulnerable to the unpredictable until we emerge comfortably into a new way of being.
Transitions are times between endings and new beginnings.
Social justice advocates prefer work to waiting. And yet there are times that require us to be still, to pause and to listen. We live in a world of rapid and profound change. We see in it in science and technology, we see it in society and politics, we see it in our personal lives. Change is also present in the spiritual realm.
