Written June of last year.
Don’t hold on to anything that won’t hold on to you
Learn to let go of those things you “can’t stand to lose”
Often, change has the worst sense of timing
But time will always change
It will push and pull and twist in your gut
Press and stretch and strain
It enters without permission
Change is a forceful opponent of all that remains
The most accurate evidence that we are maturing
Is in our growing pains
Change resonates in the marrow of our bones
It pulsates through our veins
If ever you get too comfortable or lose sight of important things
It won’t be long before you’ll hear a whisper softly urging, “Change.”
