Is it a storm or is it potential for new life?

The pressure building in the sky makes my head ache and shift. I feel it in my eyes. It is a word, unspoken, on the lips of the sky. But is it really a storm? Is it disruption or is it renewal? Both. But how you look at the same moody sky changes everything. Under [...]

Just like riding a bike: Trading in perfectionism for joyfulness
