Passages


However secure and steadfast some things may seem to be, there will always be movement… changes… one touch touching another… forms that are leaving… forms that are coming. The grand mountain that stands in the distance will one day pass away and become something we may not even imagine. Certainly we know enough history to be aware that, no matter what, nothing lasts forever.

We enter into passages...

We don’t even have to go that far into our imaginations to know that we enter into passages every day. Many of us are very aware that some of the relationships we so loved and counted on have moved on, and we are left with memories to cherish and days to reinvent. However, with the losses of change also come the opportunities for the healing of mistakes and the renewal of what lies ahead.

We can truly make an open place...

We can truly make an open place for some surprises, or we can mentally remain in the same mold so that tomorrow will look a lot like yesterday. Curiosity, I would think, would eventually push us out of the past and into an interesting unknown, which is probably a good thing. We are, after all, part of the passages of life, and we are valuable and necessary to the life and joy of others. Therefore I choose to bless and release the past and its mistakes and make room for tomorrow’s vistas.
