Life is an adventure, in big ways and small. Try as we may to arm ourselves with sturdy schedules and resolves, some days contain more uncertainty than certainty. When our lives change radically and old landscapes start to vanish, we can feel a terrible sense of disorientation.This period feels like the very definition of chaos. We feel a lack of control that we may have thought we had up to this point. We begin to question our basic sense of self. Who are we without the familiar routines, rituals, and people that comprised the context in which we felt "at home"? Who are we during the liminal period after a relationship has ended and before we understand ourselves as truly single? Who are we after we have lost a job and before we find another? How do we live with this sense of chaos? First of all, it is essential to remember that chaos is an indispensable part of the creative, birthing process. We're not crazy when the elements of change swirl about us--we're just changing. Secondly, it is important to hold what seem like warring realities in a gentle, respectful embrace.
