Change can be exciting, and the acceptance, in some cases, of the unknown. The concept of what once was is evolving into something else. There is great comfort in memories. Images that we can conjure up at any given moment to remember the good times, and images of how we want to see ourselves and the world. They may not be realistic sometimes, but we wrap ourselves around them as some form of protective blanket that shields us from the cold of the unknown.
Time puts change right in front of our faces everyday.
We either have to take control of our lives, or we become victims of the life that is taking place around us. In other words, you either generate the change, or the change generates you. As I write this, I am focusing on my thoughts, while at the same time, I can hear the cardboard boxes I put out last night being picked up for recycling by the sanitation men, the clock is ticking telling me that it is getting closer for me to go to the post office and mail off some letters, the clouds look to be gathering for an early afternoon storm. The point I am trying to make is, while you're focusing on one thing, other occurrences are happening around you that can just as greatly affect your life. Many people who write to me talk about their fears, hopes and dreams.
