What's in the Air Lately?????

Everywhere I go, in everything I read lately, there seems to be a common theme. The feeling that change is in the air, growth is on the horizon, something is just feeling "off". I know I am feeling it---something very unsettling---something making it hard to settle down and focus on any one activity or project. It feels like I am waiting for something but I don't know what it is!! I see it in other blogs, in both the writing and, in some cases, the lack of writing. I hear it from other artists who are struggling with with where they are "at" right now. And there has also been a lot of death----it seems everyone I know has either lost someone or is in the process of losing someone. I long for a feeling of lighthearted-ness and just can't find it. I start to think of taking off on a spontaneous adventure and then something says "No, you need to stay home and wait"---for WHAT?!?!??! Somehow, venturing too far away from the homestead just doesn't feel safe at the moment. I am not liking this at all!!!! It would be very easy to spiral down into depression but I don't want to waste all that time!! It's too much work to dig my way out. So, any ideas anyone??? What the hell is going on?!?!?!? Are you feeling it too?????
