I have written at least four emails this weekend to friends and clients who are going through huge transitions in their lives. While these transitions have been brewing for a long time, July seems to be the pivotal point for them. They take the form of core relationships ending, plans to move gelling, an old way of living shifting in a big way, or the ending of a life. For some it is a waking up out of a deep sleep and suddenly perceiving life from a dramatically different perspective.

Whatever the form it takes, July is a time of endings. And this is often painful - sometimes gut wrenching. The grief of the letting go can feel searing, or it may simply envelop us like a soft but steady rain, cleansing and purifying.

Even through the pain, as we come up for air we feel the freshness of the air filling our lungs, and we see clearly the shoreline we are swimming towards. It is very close, and no longer a mirage. We hear the sounds, and see the colors of this new life we are going to be residing in very soon. With every stroke we move closer and closer, though our arms ache and our chest hurts.

We know that when we reach the shore our journey will not end. This is not nirvana we are landing upon, and it will take much energy, effort, imagination, passion, and resourcefulness to create a home for ourselves in this new land. However, if we let go, unfurl our clenched fist, allow the ending to take place in a natural way, then all of these resources will gradually become available to us.

If you are one of many who are suffering, who are in pain during this transitional time, then know you will get through it, know that it is taking you where you need to go, know that the courage you show in this time of endings will be rewarded when you step into the time of your new beginning.

Years ago I had a dream in which my husband and I were driving to a new home. It was cloudy and raining off and on. We weren't sure exactly where we were going. Pulling onto a side street we realized we were close but not there yet. So we came back down the hill onto the main road and continued on to the next street. For some reason, my husband drove up that hill backwards. And we came to an arched gateway that had the words "New Community" on it. You have arrived at your destination!

And so it is with our journey into our new lives. We stumble along, take a wrong turn, move backwards at times, and yet if we persist, we do finally reach our destination.

Every parent knows the chorus from the back seat: "are we there yet??" Soon, soon.
