Wrestling Change

change is everywhere,
we wrestle it
as though we might win,
halting its progress;

we do not fight the seasons,
though we may not
like their shifts,
we understand
their inevitability
lies beyond our control,
we flow with them;

so too we must flow
within our lives,
adapt to all
that moves around us,
seek out opportunities
to grow;

this is not new,
take a moment
to look within,
discover the subtle shifts
that have taken place
over time:
see the wisdom
change has brought

understanding this
go into the world

Dancers

life is unsteady,
there is nothing simple
about living;
our surroundings change
by the minute
challenging our equilibrium,
forcing us to adjust
on the fly
to find balance,
steady ground
is a rumor;

those who have freed their feet
to dance
are limitless;
they keep moving -
bodies swaying -
as the rhythms that surround
ebb and flow,
they glide,
never lingering long enough
in a space,
for it to crumble;

feel the music
in your life,
become a dancer
