Change

 'Without fear, then courage doesn't exist.'

Change can be difficult, because the unknown is scary! And some of us would rather stay in a negative and draining life situation (a job we don't like, an injury that prevents us living life fully etc) rather than allow and action new opportunities that present themselves, to bring colour and regeneration into our lives. And those new opportunities are always there waiting in the wings, if only we would open our eyes to them! But change represents a personal growth in ourselves; which in turn has an indirect effect on those around us. We can become masters or experts in resisting change, creating imaginative and intricate justifications within ourselves, that can become as powerful as to make us ill or fatigued. And sometimes the people closest to us can unconsciously challenge any change within you, because indirectly they are nudged into their own reflections. Be aware of the resistance within yourself and lovingly let this state of awareness lead to a softening, which will in turn allow things to flow.


The Shedding of The Skin

The shedding of the skin;
Begins when one is ready -
It requires a humble space
Where time is made available -
For it's desiderata.

Shifting and squirming,
Can be done with dignity -
In the quiet of the cocoon, but;
Do not despair - for I am but all
and the same,
With the shedding of a layer,
No longer required.

Should people proffer help,
One can get stuck between the
Old and the new;
Unable to take courage and drive
It's momentum.
We are half in and half out;
The added burden of -
transformation unfulfilled.
