There is

a moment,

albeit brief,

when you

know

that you

are doing 

something 

right.

And while

it can be 

fleeting,

the knowing

your body has

in that

moment 

is

exquisite.

This 

is the 

beauty of

learning

new 

things. Of

pressing 

through discomfort,

of keeping

going, of 

not understanding,

of being

confused,

of being sullen,

and yet continuing.

Such a moment

found me

on the water

this morning. I

blinked, and

it was gone,

yet its memory

is 

enough, to

sustain even

the most dejected

version of

me, for

the coming

weeks.

And you?

What discomfort 

are

you

facing, not letting

up, 

and knowing

that with

enough time,

and the right

help,

perseverance

will succeed.
