I know some will say God is the exception here, but look at the understanding
of who God is over the centuries, what he is made out of, how he/she acts and
interacts and his reason for existing and you will see that he/she has changed
as well.
This is a wonderful, hopeful statement for many. But for others it fills them
with fear. Fear of change, fear of fluidity. I can’t stop that fear in you if you
have it. But I can ask you to look at the evidence from your own past about
what change has brought to you. Has it been as terrible as you envisioned
beforehand? Did the imagined disaster actually take place? Go by the
actual evidence and you will see, change is not only inevitable, but it is usually
good.
The key is to be aware in the present about what is available for you to love,
to be excited about, to be hopeful about. Whether it is an empty nest or
a newly discovered bird’s nest in your favorite backyard tree. There is
beauty and wonder that awaits you.
“The one unchangeable certainty is that nothing is certain or unchangeable.” – John F. Kennedy, 32nd President of the USA, 1917-1963

>Sounds like John Kennedy was a Buddhist! LOL! Love the quote, but if I think about it too much, I feel like a dog chasing my tail. It makes me dizzy!
Sometimes change is good, sometimes it's bad. Good or bad, it will pass – just like your napkin says. 🙂
