This haiku, written by poet, novelist and essay writer Meredith Sandrik, describes how many of us feel in our careers and relationships. With smoke settling in the many valleys of our Wild West, we can’t wait for the skies to clear to discern our next adventure. The same goes for life: once you see the writing on the wall, there’s no going back. In the midst of uncertainty and confusion, we must find clarity to continue the climb, even if that means getting out of the jar altogether.
