We have all known times like this.
In-between times.
A time between a life that is familiar and a new life still unknown.
An unformed time.
Perhaps it was a time when we left behind a person, a place, a job, a way of life that we loved,
or that was at least familiar.
Perhaps a time when we lost someone to circumstances beyond our control.
A wilderness time.
We have all known times like this.
