I saw this pair of Bulbuls in our courtyard perched in the cable, one looking backward and another looking forward and yet both were looking in one direction! That is a message for transition planning!
Looking forward to what is ahead!
One Bulbul had to do the U turn to look ahead to synchronise with the other Bulbul.
There can be a traction to look back as the spillover of events and experiences of the year 2025 might still be in our minds.
However, what carries us forward is the readiness to engage the future.
The photo above is an illustration of engaging what is beyond!
Later they positioned themselves aligning their body to look in one direction! They both convey a composure in their look different from what was in the earlier two photos.
When we choose to face the unknown of the future, there can be an initial turbulence within! But the memory of well lived lives amidst mixture of circumstances thus far, can give us encouragement to look forward with hope!
While it is a good to bring together the learning experiences of 2025 through a planned reflective audit, its intent is to grow in gratefulness and readiness to move on! Such an exercise can fill us with hope and comfort! In 2026 we are older by one more year, but we are also wiser because of experiences!
