Shift and Change

Things happen. People come and go. Emotions wax and wane. Buildings are erected and brought down. Lives begin and end. Things happen every single day. They happen everywhere and to everyone. And that is the only constant.

But even though there are no other regularities, this one allows us to find patterns. We all see things around us, events developing, and everything being built and taken apart. But yet again, the consistency is of it all is that it changes. It shifts. It moves on.

Yes, believe it or not, life goes on. We have ups and downs, beginnings and ends, things open and close, and everything changes. Whatever hell we may be struggling under will indeed pass. Life is a series of changes and experiences. All that we can do is take it and deal with it. And maybe it's not easy, maybe it's not pretty.

But that's life. That's what we have. And that's all we have. It's what makes us human. This gives us a sense of place, of perspective. It may not give us a sense of purpose, but it gives us a driving goal, a force to move forward to.

Sometimes, all we can do is buckle down and live it out. It can occur that the only thing that we can do is just crawl through the best we can, and prepare for the blast. It's inevitable, we know it's coming, we can see everything falling through...but we can't stop them. So we do all we can to best bear the burden, best deal with the pain.

The only constant is the change. So we take a deep breath, suck it up, and survive. All we can do is get through it. Breathe and live...such is what we do.
