Musings on Change

V,

This blog is made in love as a gesture of friendship.

I have been blessed in the lifetime to have very many wise and beautiful souls in my surrounding me. Some I have known physically, others, I am yet to meet (Hey Oprah!) but know oh so well. Some, I will have to wait for the end of this lifetime to break bread with. All none-the-less have given me direction, a sense of belonging and a true understanding of who I am in this big beautiful world.

I have not gotten everything down but I know this, we are all students to life and therefore WE should always be learning with the expectation of
change and growth. Adopting the new and letting go of the old in order to transcend all obstacles. That have permitted to come our way by our Good God who believes in us even when we don't believe in him.

So I hope you take this for what this, my attempt to share with you some of the nuggets of truth that I have stumbled across or just my view point because what I have learnt (quite recently) is that just a small shift in OUR point of view can set us free and that my dear, is a beautiful thing. By changing I, we are no longer waiting, depending on others to be different, better, nicer, kinder. We take back the power because we cannot change everyone but we can certainly change us and how we relate to everyone around us.

Wise Guys:

ALAN COHEN:
It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.

JAMES BALDWIN:
For nothing is fixed, forever and forever and forever, it is not fixed; the earth is always shifting, the light is always changing, the sea does not cease to grind down rock. Generations do not cease to be born, and we are responsible to them because we are the only witnesses they have. The sea rises, the light fails, lovers cling to each other, and children cling to us. The moment we cease to hold each other, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out.

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.
It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
I Corinthians 13:4-8
