Hold Fast

"If you do what you have always done,

you will get what you have always gotten."

Denise Linn

It is my understanding there are those who welcome and  embrace change.  They invite the alteration in schedule and thrive on the challenge of new.  I am not one of those people.  I have moved through remarkable change throughout my life, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, but movement occurred only after extreme pressure.

To navigate around stagnant life styles, relationships or careers, one must create a different way of progressing.  The movement forward often seems like a negative omen, but with courage we arrive on the other side finding a higher level of existence.

It is not as though we must sacrifice all things, replacing every object or thought.  If one thinks about it, he or she can make a list of things continued to be held dear.  I will hold fast to the comfort of nature; to the sacredness of lighting a candle; to the connectedness with visions or dreams; and to the gentle touch of kindness felt within.
