In 1965 the Byrds popularized the Pete Seeger song, "Turn, Turn, Turn." I can't quote the song but I can quote the bible verse it's taken from (Ecclesiastes 3:1-22) which says:
"To every thing there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven: a time to work, a time to rest, a time for frustration, a time when nothing seems to be working out, a time when you feel like you have one hand tied behind your back. . . "
Okay, I may have changed the words of that a bit.
But I do know many of us find ourselves in a place where life feels like that. Author, Carol Adrienne called it a void. She wrote:
“The void gives us an opportunity to end some part of our development and to prepare the ground for new growth.”
Ah! So that's what it is. . .
