Changes
"The poetry of earth is ceasing never. The poetry of earth is never dead."
- John Keats
Everything that is alive changes. Over time, seeds become plants, fruits ripen, creatures are born and die. Over time, grief can turn to acceptance, pain can turn to joy. Change is inevitable in our lives.
There are times when we can influence its direction by making choices that are more likely to result in positive, rather than negative, changes. Paths of spirituality and healing, like those of Twelve Step programs, change the effect that time's passage has on us. Committing ourselves to our values and visions, we open to the process of healing in
ourselves and others.
Time is on our side, as we develop a sense of our loving connection to others and of the usefulness of our example and service.
Today, I am unafraid of change. I meditate on an aspect of my life and notice whatever progress I have made over time.
The Book, "Glad Day,"

In today, I embrace change. Change is growth for me. It has been my observation that I need to be at a place of honesty, surrender and acceptance for what is in the moment. I need to be living in the moment and in today in order to take the action to bring about change. Step One is the beginning of each cycle. In life, we come full circle, in that circle, are many other circles; the more circles, the more change in my life.
