Inspiration...

We freely accept the necessity of transition in nature, but we are resistant to apply the same principle to our own lives. Many of us tend to hold steadily onto the past, neglecting the possibility that something better might be up ahead. A tree can not hold onto its flowers and leaves for fear of losing its treasure. It simply lets go of them knowing that its full beauty will be restored. The same blossoms will not return, but ones that are just as, if not more beautiful than the originals. Everything comes full circle. Keeping this principle in mind should allow us to accept change more readily.

If
If all there was to know

Was known by only me

And the only place to go

I was all there was to see.

I'd start at the beginning

And I'd make myself anew

With a will that's free for sinning

To forget all that I knew.

Then I could learn again

That which I could only teach

That the truth of I as man

Is there's nothing I can't reach.

I have found

that among

its other

benefits,

giving

liberates

the soul

of the giver.
