Cluttered Seasons ?

Picture this: A mid-June day at the height of the growing season.Severely thick foliage now blocks the Fall/Winter season's view of clear paths and landscapes. Although I've been at this place before, I am now blinded,direction-less, can't see my way through.Things are cluttered.I am gently reminded that when the seasons change and the leaves and tangles of troublesome foliage disappears, the clear pathways re-appear.They never really left and were there all along.Alone, I could not move each and every leaf,pine needle,cone, thorn,flower or weed that obscured my view and focus.Yet, The Maker can transform the View with the graceful finesse of changing seasons: the troublesome foliage is moved aside; the Trash is taken away and I am more at ease... I am also gently reminded that the Seasons of Life also come rhyhmically with a harvest of comfort and ease. So, now I don't have to panic when I hear that alarm clock in my cluttered, confused state. Everything is going to be all right.It always is...
