Outside the winds are blowing wildly, the air is warm and filled with an unmistakable energy that I haven't felt in a long while. The night is getting late and I am tired from my long day of responsibilities. I have walked this road many times before and it is a good one. Routines can make us feel peaceful and safe, keeping us on track to accomplish our daily activities, secure in our knowledge that life will continue to move in the same and familiar direction. Our minds and realities become sleepy in the commonness of our sure and predictable choices. Many times we hesitate, unwilling or unable, to seek out the less traveled paths offered along the way. Avoiding change, following the same steps as those before us, happy and content to stay where we are. One day waking up to the fact that nothing is further from the truth, for life is all about something being made different. Our bodies are continually reinventing themselves, and unless we choose to be stagnant in our thoughts and feelings, these too are in constant fluctuation. Change is a blessing and not always a welcome one. No matter how we understand it to be, transformation is undeniably woven into the fabric of our being, deeply rooted in all of Creation. Clearly written for us to see in the phasing of the moon, day into night, and the turning of seasons one to another. Changes are everywhere and in everything, our very existence relies upon this truth. To be alive is to transform. The winds are blowing wildly and I am ready~
