It is clear we are meant to move and change.  Our bodies, nature, and all the natural laws of the universe speak this truth in their very being.  It is funny that we often resist movement until we get started.  Once we are in motion and open to change it just happens.  We can experience the same thing within our own minds and hearts when we open up to the shifts in perspective offered to us by our lives.  We do not have to go far to seek out opportunities to shift our thinking or feeling.  Most of the time they are right in front of us.  We get stuck when we close ourselves off to these shifts because we fear what the result will be. We step out of the moment and find ourselves ruminating over the end of the path or how we are going to make it happen.  Life invites us to take a breath, take a step, and dance into the mystery of moving through a shift.  We get stuck in fearing how it might change who we say we are or we resist the invitation to shift due to a fear that we will be shown wrong for where we were before the shift.  But like the shift from night to day, one does not make the other obsolete.  They both have their role.  All the changes in our lives are not because we were wrong or bad before and now we are right and good.  The opportunity to shift occurs because it is time to discover something new about ourselves, about our heart, and about our capacity to learn from love. We need not resist the shifts in our lives no matter what form they appear in because we are far more capable of the changes we are being invited to live.
