Changes

Time flows, from millisecond to second, from minute to hour, from day to year. There's no stopping Time, it runs along side of us, when we're awake or sleeping, in parallel, it moves constantly. We can waste time or use it. Changes occur each and every moment. Some we accept and are ready for, others, we detest and barely survive. They all bring a price, these Changes. There's nowhere to run, to hide as they always find us, and force us to pay, pay whatever price they charge. Oh how I wish I had a crystal ball which told me ahead of time what Changes are coming, when to expect them, how to deal with them and their cost in terms of blood, sweat and tears. Some Changes are for the better, bringing with them strength, joy and love. Others take things away and for those, I need to know how to cope with whatever has been lost. How do any of us go onward into tomorrow, how do we keep living successfully in the face of continual Changes? A question for the Ages, a quandary for my simple mind. Perhaps I wouldn't have stayed sane if I had known beforehand the what, where, when, why and how of all the Changes interwoven throughout my life. Time flowing, from millisecond to second, from minute to hour, from day to year... continuously along with all of Life's Changes.
