Spinning

If I were to explain the most important lesson I have ever learned (or am attempting to accept, really) in five words or less, it would have to be this:

Change is inevitable.

Leaves change with the seasons.  Kids spring up from crawling to running and sprout into teenagers almost as if before your eyes.  Natural disasters wipe out entire cities.  People come and people go.

  

You can't stop it.  

Sometimes I feel like I'm a hamster spinning on a wheel and the only thing I can do is go faster.  Everything tells me I have to be one step ahead of that whirling beneath my toes.

With each breath of acceptance that change is, in fact, inevitable, I feel myself more at peace; more willing to face any fear, to chase any dream; more in control.
