I feel the immensity and the calmness that water ignites within me all at once. Like the wind and water, I feel both grounded and full of life.
I love that quote. Being by water always calms me immensely.
I try to not focus so much on changes but more on the philosophy of what will be will be. Often we can’t alter outcomes anyway so why waste energy on it. It’s easy to write and say this but not so easy in reality. Resilience and practice.
I have always disliked change. I gladly settle into routines.
Life, on the other hand, cared not a bit about my preferences, and change has been a constant in my life despite my personality.
What helped me embrace the inevitable changes life throws at you is to carefully analyze what resulted from each change. In a few cases, the results were negative, but in the majority of cases I was happy the change was thrust upon me. So if most of the time the change results in a net positive, I learned not to fear change. I even started to proactively make some changes, something that would have startled my younger self.

Yes, I completely agree! This work is all about practice, and nature both humbles me and reminds me that it's all just a work in progress.
Definitely. And nature is always there for us, doing its thing anyway, taking the seasons as they come. Nature should be our greatest teacher

Nick, I love this reflection! This is just what I needed to read, thank you.
