As I thought about how the late spring and summer might open before me, doing this nutritional and health transformation program, I had a vision of passing through three wilderness periods. The first 40 days. The second 40 days. Of a 90 day program. The messy middle would be shared by the first and second 40 days. I have passed through the messy middle. I think this may be the first time I've noticed. I am ten days away from the end of the program. So, why a third wilderness journey?
It's not about the program. The program is an introduction. A toolbox that's being shared with me. A way in. The first 10 days of the third journey will be the program's end; the next 30 will be the beginning of the rest of my life. How do I transition from program to lifestyle?
As I sit on a boulder here in the Green Wilderness, sipping some water and seeing the end of the second wilderness in the near distance, knowing I will cross the threshold today, of one and into another, I am feeling thoughtful.
I've grown the ability to be more present.
The Green Wilderness is a daily writing practice that opens a landscape of discovery into my own human experience.
