Change is existence. the only stillness we can find is in death. Even during sleep, the little death, our heart twitches, moving blood through our body, our eyes flit through REM. those who resist change lose their will to live, can no longer see outside of themselves to incorporate newness into their lives. how can you live without growing? even the rocks around us change through time, weatherbeaten, slowly so that we cannot sense it. we change much more frequently, must change to survive. our senses lose their sense without change, touching something so long that you cease to notice its nearness, a lover who stays too close, a smell, the most wonderful or the most horrible scent, fades as you sit in a room, still. our society tells us to stay as we are, don't move too much, you can't handle it, it's frightening. yes, life is frightening sometimes, but moving against the fear gives us life, courage, and breath.
