Transitions

Not in his goals but in transitions is man great.

-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

We come to a point in our lives, where it seems that the only thing that still grows stronger is faith.  It feels like I have arrived here -- eyesight, physical strength, mental capacity...all seem to be diminishing, irreversibly.

A growing faith, though, is no insignificant or regrettable thing.  I wonder what other transitions are underway for me at the age of 51 -- what will be gained, what will be lost, what test, what joy -- and how I will reflect on them at the end of 2015.
