Leaving A Trail

The comfort, the peace and quiet that solitude brings is priceless.  A bliss!  I wish I find this very rare moment of solitude more often.  The time to stop, take stock, and quit resisting change.

Just as we allow emotions to roll through us, we come to terms with the fact that people pass through our lives — like “passing ships in the ocean” (as my dear friend the ‘crazy crow’ once put it).  People come, people go. We let it happen.  We allow the transitions.  It’s when we put up a fight and resist the flux that we suffer.  So we welcome change.  That’s how we turn into well-orbed earthlings, I guess. 

Sometimes new circumstances make it impossible for old situations to continue.  However comfortable we’ve been in the old (joyful or joyless) ways, getting out of that comfort zone is the only sane choice… unless you want a stunted growth.  Even if it means bloody crawling your way out of “it”, out is the best way to go. Jobs, loved ones, relationships — all must go through fundamental changes.  It’s hard.  It’s inevitable.  But it’s definitely possible and achievable. And you’re the sole soul who’s best to do the job.  Alone.  No one else is ever going to do it for you.  No other soul to live your life for you.

You can do it.

A moment of solitude is just what you need to start things right. Your self is your best company for now. Cherish the moment.  Drink in the glory of it.

Savor.  The.  Sweetness.
