Change

The frost covered meadow glistens as the fog rises from the riverbed reminding us that even in the light of the bright morning sun, the cold of winter will soon be at hand. Gone for now are the days of short sleeved strolls down the farm lane. Strolls now are layered and cut short by the grip of the biting cold wind. Firewood is still being gathered in anticipation for the frosty months ahead. Stable stalls will soon be dressed in layers of straw and hay as barn animals nestle in, finding refuge from nature’s winter visit. Prepared or not for the coming change the earth’s rotation progresses as it has for millennia before. We are each the product of change. From gamete to blastula to embryo to baby, change is the very nature of that into which we are crafted. As change after change moves forward we view the progression as age. The fullness of life is experienced in the embrace of change, not as a destination but as the journey. May your embrace today be of the fullness awaiting your outstretched arms!
