about (c h a n g e)

things keep moving around me
i feel overwhelmed

but wait
i am not separate from this change
i am creating it
i am a part of it

the change is gaining so much momentum
and on we go
catching glimpses as things rotate 
what a blur

as i wonder how to cope i think back to my teen years
spinning in circles on the sidewalk in the backyard as it rained
the rain poured down on me and i felt bliss

soaking wet
i was immersed in the moment 
i was alive
i was a part of it
it was not happening TO me
i was a part of it

that is how i enjoyed it
no resistance
i became it

so maybe now if i feel the fullness of this i will have greater awareness
greater appreciation
for the change

even if i am spinning
at least i am feeling it all 

and now i am part of the movement

i dance with this change

i’ll see where we arrive
but until then i am experiencing it
and it is me

i am changing 

Learning from fear

i love this quote.

“ FEAR has two meanings :

. . . forget everything and run . . .

. . . face everything and rise . . .

the choice is yours. “

-zig ziglar

so many times you have wanted to give up on something or someone, to run away or hide, before you have even gotten started.

but there’s so much here to discover. there’s so much more of you that you have yet to meet.

fear can be protective. maybe it was good to stay away from certain situations that your gut told you were off.

(in what ways has fear helped you?)

fear can also be limiting. you may feel stagnant, afraid to make a move.

(in what ways has fear held you back?)
