The cycle of life. The land has life. Our plans and dreams have life. Our joy has life, and as in life, there is also death. That is why I say, that everything changes.
Nothing stays the same.
There is no life if there is not change. It is a basic fact of life. I did not understand it as completely as I thought. I grieved for this special, private place being invaded by neighbor's dogs, who were allowed to run free. I grieved for each newly planted tree or flower that was destroyed by these free-ranging pets.
