Unfolding

Maybe it's the time of year--a time when I see graduation postings on Facebook in abundance--postings of beautiful young women I remember as toddlers or adolescents. Seeing them in cap and gown seems a sharp change--a clear break from what used to be into what is yet to be. 

It's startling only because I missed the gradual, gentle unfolding of one phase of these lives into the next. 

You write it: What is unfolding for you?
