![]() Endings. Transitions. New beginnings. Recently, the baby of the family exited high school. Her graduation was an event that drew our household into a whirlwind of activity and signaled the end of one season of our lives. The celebrations which honored her accomplishments transitioned us into a new place as a family. Now, our home is the branch on which young adults stretch their wings in preparation for solo flight; it is no longer the nest where little ones burrow safely beneath parental wings. The familiar environment of inter-dependency has slowly unfurled to reveal the precipice of independence and self discovery for us all. We perch, cherishing what has been while anticipating what lies ahead. Universities. Careers. Relationships. Solo living. These are among the generalities that we expect for our kids, but within them are the hidden, the undefined, the specifics that are yet to be discovered. Though the nest still offers its feathered comfort for those brief interludes between school, jobs, and social activities, I know it will be completely empty in the near future. Therefore, as my children's lives evolve, my own role is changing as well. My personal new beginning is on the horizon, and I step out on a different branch for my own solo flight. Don't we all? It's the nature of life and its continuous cycle of change. Whether it's entering a Promised Land after wilderness travel, going through the aging process, or experiencing the release of people in our lives, we are in a perpetual state of moving beyond the familiar into the unknown. When life fades into eternity, the last transition will be traversed, and we will soar into our final new beginning. Perhaps, graduation and the host of other milestones in life are merely preparation for that transfer, the practice of ending, transitioning, and embracing the delight of our ultimate new beginning.
