Heraclitus stated that nothing is constant but change. I reflected on this quote as I was thinking about a situation I recently experienced in which I had challenged my own belief system on changes; trying to force a change that was out of character for me and not from my heart.
After a night of heavy rain and wind, many yards around me were covered in branches that broke from the trees sometime during the storm. The wind had calmed some but was still powerful. I then noticed a Willow Tree standing strong and blowing WITH the wind. Willow moved gracefully with each breath of the wind. She showed me that I can still be true to myself when dancing with the changes of life, however painful those changes might be. Change is natural and if we fight that which needs to be changed we are eventually destroyed.
I am always looking for ways to open myself to new ideas; however I know that change has to happen gracefully and not be forced; which is the lesson I learned from my situation.
May you dance the life of opportunities presented you each day with grace and gratitude.
Namaste,
