The role of confusion

File:WinterFog.jpg

Dull and misty morning in Ireland today, obscuring the landscape and making things that were visible yesterday seem less clear.  A good metaphor for how our inner life can seem at times.

Confusion is seen as a mistake, even a madness.

In truth, our potential for psychological growth reveals itself in moments of disruption.

The gift of confusion must be honored to clear a space in your life for something new to claim you.
