Get Up, Get Moving

multo blue – m. ulto

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing at all.
Helen Keller

Change is the most constant thing on this planet.

Change, painful and abrupt, like war.

Change, slow and consistent, like the movement of glaciers.

Change, standard and complete, like life, like death, like birth.

Should we shake and freeze in the face of it?

Or glide, untouched, into the future, without looking back?

Can we ever be divorced from the past so completely?

Or is change shifting perspective by force, on the past, present and possible futures?

Steps, one at a time, are not the achievement on which we rest.

Steps are plateaus until we are ready to reach for the next step.

So peace can be developed, step by step, as we comprehend and prepare and embrace.

The embrace is a daily practice, done often without fanfare or congratulations, but as a necessary function of life, of peace, of change.

Get up, if you are knocked down.  Rise, if you have fallen.  Move, if you are standing.

Fall, rise, move again.

Embrace the samsara, continue and then pause at the end of life, a break well earned.

Peace,
Melissa
