A change in energy

A friend offering some wise counsel paused during our conversation. The topic had become heavy and we seemed to be losing momentum.

“If you’re up to it, let’s change up the energy.”

With a brief neck stretch, a waggle of the arms, and a new question to ponder — we had a renewed sense of purpose and refreshed spirits. New insights began to emerge.

Part of it was because of the physical invigoration. But part of it was merely because the idea of new energy was mentioned.

Sometimes, setting a new course creates change before we even start moving our feet.
