This week, for Upstate New York, I'm sharing with you something I realized while enjoying coffee by a waterfall this morning. Fish doing their best to swim upriver, trying again and again and refusing to give up, reminded me of people. Our thoughts are trying to jump out of societal norms and move along with our own thoughts. When the waterfall of beliefs continues to come down on us, doing the work feels more difficult. Instead of feeling like you need to be farther, continue to have grace and compassion for exactly where you are.
