A loved one stands before you, filled with antics he or she has never displayed before. Who is this person and how can you reconcile this foreign behavior? You do not want to judge, as this person has been instrumental in your life, so you fall back into old memories. Instead of viewing this person where they are now, you pull up images of how they were before.
Whether a child, lover, mentor or elder, you feel resistant to this change in personality and shifting behavior. In your inability to accept the present moment, vision becomes intwined with avoidance and denial. The insecurity triggered by the situation, may cause you to become despondent and absent.
It is with compassion that you learn to embrace others wherever they happen to be. This is true for yourself as well. Life purpose calls you to stretch and to grow facilitating constant change. Your ability to simply be present removes any need to retreat into passages that need to remain closed. Sometimes, you need to just let go.
