Fear of change

Ah, us humans

we come across opportunities to change
we give ourselves the idea that it is time to stop being stuck
we know we can be so much more

and then..
the darn old change
doesn't come with the end result right away

there are setbacks
we lose our nerve
we have habits we don't want to give up

we have habits we don't want to see

we are afraid
when things start to get better
we are afraid, strangely enough,
and, again, ah so human,

of things getting far better than we are used to

we are uncomfortable without our
usual level of discomfort

things seem strange.



ah, they are

strange means grown up
means, not the way the family or the tribe
prepared us to box in
and constrain

strange means
new

new
means
now

even this now

what strange and wonderful..

feelings?
sensations?
even ideas (vs the same old same old thoughts)
can we come into connection with?

in this now?

if we sat down to write
about this,

sensing as we wrote
and loving each moment as
it came up and through us

what would we find?

I don't know,
but I'm going to go journal and find out.


what will you do?

I don't know.
