Bluejays are very active in my neighborhood. They are fierce protectors of their territory and their nests. 

I was pondering on this new era in my life and how difficult the journey is when you can’t see the path. I realized that it’s similar to skiing: I know that I’ll get there even when I don’t see the entirety of the slope.

So I’ll just take the first step and trust that the world will meet me half way. A Bluejay might just lift me the rest of the way.
