Change...

September 16, 2008

We fight change and yet it is the very core of what life
is.
The ebb and flow that we hear in every breath,
In the waves washing the shore,
In the wind whispering through the trees.

This year has tapped me on the shoulder,
And reminded me that nothing is forever,
Except love.

We live in times where more voices are heard,
Than ever before.
Our technology has given a voice...
To the well-dollared
and the small, still indigenous tribes in the corners of
our planet.

And we hear opinions…sweet opinions,
In the voices, the opinions tell of the fears, the needs
and the wants…
That the voices think are everyone’s.

Yet, we either fear or don’t realize that the one true
thing,
Is LOVE.
It can be locked away, swept away, forgotten or engulfed,
It never leaves us.
It is the core of us.
It is that breath we take in and let out.
It is the very foundation of anything else we are or do or
have.
It bounds across the divisions we create between us.
It is the one thing that can soften the hardest of hearts.

Three funerals and three weddings in as many years have touched me with the grief and joy, both of which weave together through the veils of love that still is and always will be.
