8/29/06 Change
Why is change so hard? Why is "letting go" of my comfort zone so damn hard?
The 13th Century mystic Rumi beatifully describes change and transition this way:
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness
Some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
I have much to learn.
Even if they're crowded of sorrows
Who violently swept your house
Empty of its furniture,
Still, treat each guest honorably,
He may be clearing you out
For some new delight.
"Something that required the best of us has ended. You will miss it. Anne Wilson Schaef
