Change
Here we are at another new moon, let’s pray that this cycle is better than the last. My last month’s focus was about Choice – and while I fully expected it to move in one direction, I was reminded of the adage that if you want to hear the gods laugh, announce your plans. Instead, last month I was faced with a flurry of decisions, choices, and interactions I couldn’t possibly have prepared for – and maybe that was the lesson. Sometimes we’re placed into untenable circumstances where we need to feel our way through – where no amount of preparation can ever be enough. While I’m, of course, grateful for the lesson – the price last month was way, way too high.
It seems fitting – and somewhat logical – to follow a month focused on Choice with one focused on Change. I’m reminded of the quote from Garth from “Wayne’s World” who said “We fear change” – but there really is no alternative – we all either evolve or we stagnate. I’m also reminded that everything changes – not just us. When we throw a pebble into the water, we change, the pebble changes, the air changes, and the water changes. Or from Star Trek (2009), “I never thought of space as the thing that was moving”.
So this month will be being mindful of the eddies and currents of space and time, and matter and energy. As I move along, I want to remember that everyone else is doing the same thing – and if we bump shoulders or step on toes, I want to try to do it as gently as I’m able.
