Interim

This is for those in limbo, for limbo is a very hard place to be. 

(Excerpt from For the Interim Time, from To Bless the Space Between Us by John O'Donohue (author of Anam Cara).

....

You are in this time of the interim 

Where everything seems withheld.

The path you took to get here has washed out;

The way forward is still concealed from you. 

"The old is not old enough to have died away;

The new is still too young to be born."

....

As far as you can, hold your confidence.

Do not allow your confusion to squander

This call which is loosening

Your roots in false ground,

That you might come free

From all you have outgrown.

What is being transfigured here is your mind,

And it is difficult and slow to become new.

The more faithfully you can endure here,

The more refined your heart will become

For your arrival in the new dawn.
