Change is uncomfortable. It is an unpredictable way that is pulling you into its course.
You may not have decided to give into the change. Sometimes we don't have a choice but to follow a new distance.
In situations of natural catastrophe or even in moments of what we could classify as "positive" change, there exists a measure of willingness to allow at least a portion of the event to happen.
Some things we cannot control, no matter how hard we try.
Even as other emotions such as denial and anger surface, we can't always defend our happy, homeostatic selves.
Life, in itself is continually changing and bending to evolve to the next part of its winding and eventful path. This is the essence of presence, and what life can be when we live in cooperation with it.
Life is not static.
But we are.
We can get so ingrained in our ideas, our perceptions, and expectations for how we think our life should be, and how we think we want life to be, that we miss out on the movement of existence.
This movement is fluid in its function, with the means to carry on from one thing to the next.
We must always be pushing forward, and not standing still with our walls of limited sight and less understanding. Our unwilling attitudes for connecting with the adaptation that is constantly happening all around us in our natural world will strangle us for it, in the end.
We can't stay in our sheltered states of resistance, and not allow life to happen.
If we do, we may be harmed by the dangerous temperament of change that often occurs even when we're not ready to embrace it.
In my state of pain, I am realizing more that life is not still. It at least has breath, and therefore, it's always going in some direction.
We have the burden and the responsibility to decide how we'll respond to change.
Can we learn to expect that the nature of life is a cycle of constant change?
Can we be willing to accept that, therefore, our lives may not always be exactly the same?
Can we confirm that in order to move forward, we must embrace change?
Can we respect that the duties associated with change involves us moving out of something? Whether moving out of our own provisions and security, or altering our expectations a little, movement requires a shift from one point to the next.
Are we brave enough to welcome what is outside of our sphere of knowledge and comfort?
Are we bold enough to believe and approve what life is asking us to do?
If you are alive, align yourself more with the profound awareness that life exists fluidly, and is constantly changing.
Then, it will be up to you to decide: Will you move with life, and follow the ever-present and sustaining energy it supplies? Or will you move against it, and continue to feed yesterday's life by dwelling in the places where you once were before?
