Change

Good Morning,

The seasons and local weather remind me once again of the nature of change. The leaves turn from a lush green to hues of warmth and rosiness. The air changes from heated and tropical to cool and crisp and the clothes go from loose and flowing to scrunched and layered. Funny thing about change is that some people take an extreme dislike to it, while others welcome it with open minds and arms. The majority of us lie somewhere in between, welcoming certain changes, while wanting other aspects of our lives to remain untouched. If we think about it for a moment though it would seem highly out of place for something or someone that did not change. In other words they/it lasted forever. How alien it would be to watch things die away, to come and go while we could only watch and bide our eternity. Now do you still not want a little change in your life?

Change is one of the truths in life, it is never ending and all encompassing. All things change and by embracing it rather than fighting it we can grow tremendously. Traveling outside of our routines propels us into a state of wide openness in which our eyes are fully open and our senses are moved to "on" position. It is here that if we are alert enough to the world, we can come to see the delusions that cloud our view. You do not have to call this a journey, pilgrimage or path, but it is a quest - one driven by an interest in what you may not ever be able to understand, see or express to others.

Change is the essence of life. Be willing to surrender what you are for what you could become. Have a beautiful day!

Peace and Love, Jim
