the following reflections are about the changes we encounter on our personal journeys through life. I came across them while reading a book on enlightenment and couldn't help but be moved.
when change occurs we may find ourselves overwhelmed and without answers. we retreat for awhile, back into our familiar routines. we are safe here in the present. we know the rules. we know what to expect.
the thought of a new tomorrow is completely foreign. who will be there for us when we need to turn to someone? what will inspire us? what will keep us going? we take our first steps out of complete faith that somehow, some way we will find new paths to follow.
at times we must learn to let go of the people, places, or activities that have been a part of our lives. unfortunately we cannot take everyone and everything on the next stage of our personal journeys. as we change, so do our helpers along the way.
we cannot stop change. it is inevitable. when we face significant turning points, we must let ourselves move on. we will find ourselves under a new sky. the horizon will be different. the landscape will be unknown. but there are others who can be our companions for this new phase.
theses words are a reminder that change is constant - it is the one certainty in life, but that doesn't mean we should run from it. embrace the changes in your life and grow from them.
as a wise friend once told me, "may we all learn from the trees, to grow with ease." life is a journey. embrace it - both the good and the bad :)
