A Blurb

One of my favorite quotes of all time is:

"The only constant is change." Heraclitus

I remind myself often that life is made up of changes: spiritual, little, profound, cosmic, perennial, temporary, permament, joyful,  cataclysmic, senseless, physical and minute. Actually, change reminds ME that it is constant in my life...and how I handle change is what is critical to my nature.

I wish I was a serene woman...who lets change ebb and flow in her life with barely a ripple impacting the surface tension of the current.  But I am not such a woman. 

I can stand face-first...resisting change...resisting the relentless force that reshapes...resisting my natural reactions.  I can bend and sway in the torrents...grabbing a breathe here and there...gripping with my soul at the bedrock beneath my feet.  I can turn my back to change...leaning against the flow...always looking back...a tiresome task indeed.  I can "go with the flow"...as irksome as that wishy-washy thought can be...and unproductive by its definition. 

Or I can study the currents of change and embrace them as the life force that they are...for it is by where I choose to stand in the river that the rushing force of change can give me "lift" by sweeping by one side of me faster than the other side.  The slower side has eddys of rest and breath and time.

I can control the impact change has in my life...by embracing "the only constant is change."
