Change

Change is not something drastic, that happens from one day to the next, most of the time it's not even something that we are aware is happening.
All of a sudden we open our eyes and realize something has changed.
Change is the sum of a lot of small things, things we are rarely aware of are happening, that culminate in the metamorphosis of our behavior or the awareness of that behavior.
Change is very subtle, very gentle.
You may say it slip under your door when you least expect it to.
Change always happens on emotional level.
You cannot will it to happen, you cannot make it happen.
You need to allow it to happen.
You need to welcome as it comes in, embrace it as it petrifies you to the bone, and the you emerge on the other side stronger and more beautiful than ever before.
And you need to accept that it will happen again and again and again.
No river will be the last to cross, no peak will be the last to climb, there is always a road ahead.
If you choose to stop and rest and and take in the scenery that is ok.
But don't ever stop walking, don't ever stop changing- you will stop growing. And that is a death within itself.
Change is uncomfortable, it is sometimes painful, but if you allow yourself to be aware of the process you will realize how beautiful it is.
Just remember: there is nowhere to get to, there is no rush, and you are always, always exactly where you need to be.
