CHANGE, gratitude, day 8

That change is inevitable and constant is a bittersweet and liberating truth...no one stays on the mountain top forever but neither do we stay in the valley below. Life is a series of seasons and inevitable shiftings in circumstance. If we are wise we  allow these constant shifts to occur in our lives and hearts with grace. Thank God that the struggles of the night always conclude with a sunrise and that the fragile possibilities of the day are sealed in sunsets. No emotion is permanent and no earthly status or object lasts. Life, death, health, sickness, wealth, poverty, beauty, decay, status, careers, family, friends, community, shelters, possessions...these are just cycles that we are passing through. I appreciate what I have only because I know what it is like not to have and I recognize that its not really mine in the end anyways. I came here only by the grace of Love and I will leave the same way. Whatever your season, appreciate its beauty and its lessons. Because its only a season. It will change, and so will you.
