change in the air

Change is in the air and I am flying with it.

I am transitioning to a new job within the place I work. The ripples of that transition are just beginning to expand. It has altered the way that my co-workers have to deal with processes at the office.

It isn't easy for some to accept change. For some it takes a long time to get used to even a small change & the major events can really trun life into a tail-spin for them.

"It's not Fair."

"You can't do that to me."

"This time we'll do X-Y-Z."

All said with the gnashing of teeth, the stomping of feet and the requisite glares of anger at being forced to do something; something different, something new, something.

I am sorry for folks that see all change as a punishment to themselves, an upset to their lives, an event of clamity.

Change is a part of this life, a part of living each day on this wonderous plane, a gift from spirit to allow growth.

It is not an event that can be controlled.

It can be an adventure, a chance to shine in the glory of new learning, new doing & new ways of doing things.

But for some it is a death knell to the way they want things done, they way they know to do things and to the way they know.

I prefer to look at things the way Allan Cohen has stated it:

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.
