Scary huh? Yet, all I can picture, is cascading snow; enraged by a scream or a thunderclap. Despondent yet transforming. I mean after all, an avalanche does change its surroundings. One of nature's sudden whims to scrap a written page and commence anew, with the hope that the alteration of the nearby terrain will be effervescent and purposeful. Something with much more spark than previously envisaged. The key to the avalanche, is change. And change is good, most of the time. The majority of us are sticklers to routine and any flicker of addition or subtraction generates panic! I mean after all, this is what I..like..to do...right...right? Why oh why does it have to change..? There are changes taking place around me that will forever alter the fabric of who I am, or at least, who I thought I was - a sudden introduction of agents accosting me at all corners. Changes that will bring forth an avalanche of sorts, and with it, questions that beget answers, actions that must be taken. I can hear the drum roll in the distance. "Let's get lost", as Chet Baker would say. Dye the soul color blue and dive right into this mess of snow and rock coming straight at me.
Sudden whims huh? I can see it all now.... A strangeness at first, like driving to a new job on day one. Scrap that last page and commence anew. Effervescence and purpose are on their way.
Just had a conversation with a friend a few days back about why we as humans run from change when we know change is constant-physically, mentally, spiritually. There is no growth without change, yet we fear it as if it were leprosy. Reluctantly admittiing that change will happen whether we want it or not. The sooner we accept it, the sooner we can start directing it and figuring out how to meld it into our lives.
