Something’s Brewing (And That’s a Good Thing)

Ever get that strange gut feeling like something’s about to shift? Not necessarily bad, just... different? The air feels heavier. Your thoughts drift. The usual rhythm is off. You can’t explain it, but deep down, you know something’s coming.

As Bert from Mary Poppins once said:
“Winds in the east, mist coming in,
Like somethin' is brewin' and 'bout to begin.
Can't put me finger on what lies in store,
But I fear what's to happen all happened before.”

We all know that feeling.

The quiet before life changes direction. The kind of moment that doesn’t make sense on paper but echoes in your bones. It’s not logic. It’s awareness. It’s life whispering, Pay attention.

We’re taught to fear that feeling. To brace for loss or disruption or danger. But what if that shift in the air isn’t a threat? What if it’s an invitation? What if it’s not a storm warning, but a doorway cracking open?

Sometimes the future shows up before we have the words for it. That’s why “Can’t put me finger on what lies in store” hits so hard. We don’t always get the map before the journey begins. But maybe we don’t need certainty to move forward. Maybe awareness is enough. Maybe curiosity is enough. Maybe just being willing is enough.

Yes, “I fear what’s to happen all happened before.” And sure, patterns repeat. But that doesn’t mean we’re stuck. Every loop gives us a new shot to respond better. The past only traps us if we ignore what it taught us. When we see the pattern, we can break it. Or better, we can transform it.

So let’s stop seeing the mist as confusion. Let’s see it as a threshold. A soft reminder that transformation often begins in fog, not clarity. That restless feeling? That tug in your gut? That’s not danger. That’s direction. That’s life saying, The way things have been is not the way they’re meant to stay.

The shift you feel isn’t a threat to who you are.
It’s an invitation to who you’re becoming.

You don’t have to predict the future to walk toward it. Just trust the wind is moving for a reason. You’ve already survived every beginning you once feared. You’re not new to change. You’re living proof that uncertainty is a passage, not an ending.

So when you feel the atmosphere shifting, don’t shrink.
Pause. Breathe. Listen.
Ask not What if something goes wrong? but
What if something finally goes right?
What if this is the very thing you asked for in a braver moment?
What if this is the chapter where you finally meet yourself?

It’s worth remembering, the unknown isn’t always danger.
Sometimes, it’s destiny waiting for your permission.

Something is brewing.
And this time, you don’t need to brace yourself.
You get to meet the winds not with worry,
but with wonder.
