Change

Life is in a constant state of flux.  Change is never easy, but it's a constant part of life.  An oxymoron.  

Relationships, people, moods, weather, jobs, health, thoughts, ...everything changes.

Sometimes the change is welcomed, like winter turning in to spring.  Or when our health improves...change is good.  

Change is unwelcome when it affects people I know and love in a negative way.   I have two friends that are going through some very difficult times right now.  Their lives have been in a constant state of upheaval the last two years due to accidents, cancer, depression, and job changes. It seems as though a  dark cloud of misfortune hangs above them.  I pray that things turn around for them soon, very soon. 

It is true ..the saying Carpe Diem (Seize the Day).  In yoga, the words 'Be Present" mean the same. 

We are all presented with 24 hours in which to live a day in our life. Although we're seemingly running on this hamster wheel of life, each day will present new challenges and change - some good, some bad.

 It's up to us to make the best out of what life throws at us each and every day. 

I cannot live fast enough!
      For a swirl of rushing air
      Catches the red leaves from my feet
      And scatters them everywhere.
I cannot live fast enough!
      Look! those trees were green and are bare
      And over the cold horizon hills
      The winter sun-fires glare.
I have not lived fast enough!
      I must hurry, must run, must dare,
      There is time yet for a red leaf
      To tangle itself in my hair!
~Eda Lou Walton, "A Song," c.1919

Speaking of changes, I'm "out of breath" just following the daily changes happening in your nation's capital these days. Time will tell when things eventually settle down and "normalise".
