I'm like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.

listen
without pause
without haste
find the time
peace of mind
stillness exists
even for a moment
without question
without conflict
set your intention
breathe

I need to make some changes this week.
There are a few things on my list (this goes well past resetting the clocks), all of them intended to change, in some way, the way I live or have lived.
I feel it is time.
We have all come through a year of change. Many of the changes were unexpected, some of them demanded of us, but nevertheless it was change. We didn’t know it would take this long and, for a while, it seemed it wouldn’t, or it wasn’t.
And we are still changing. We are adapting. We are adjusting.
We are (or we should be) evolving.
Change doesn’t need to be a complete transformation, in fact; the slightest change may end up as your sweet salvation. But you need to change. You may need it more than you think; you might not even realize what is required or why it is necessary.
There are so many reasons for change and they change, as we do.
We need to change even if for no reason other than change.
The things that might have worked may no longer be working. Or could it be we are no longer working for change? The answers may differ, but the questions are always about change.
Time changes, the seasons change and we have all changed before (whether we care to admit it, or not).
Change is inevitable. Change is undeniable.
Change can be a wonderful thing.
Or change can be frightening.
Welcome the change.

We are haphazardly conscious of time, watching as it slips away or is erased.
Like spectators, we often remember certain times, or celebrate others. As observers we are continually waiting for the right time to do what we must.
Do we ever find the time? Was it ever there? Does it count?
How much time do we spend worrying about it?
