So much of the fear that lives in our heads gets its juice from the black and white paradigm through which it operates.  We fear changes because they are unfamiliar and we make the assumption that they are forever.  Yet the very nature of change is that the change whatever it is will change again.  We presume some long journey of potential suffering when perhaps it is more of a sojourn through a new experience.  We cannot know ahead of time what we perceive as an unwelcome trip through discomfort how long it will actually last.  We forget how quickly we adapt and even things that are long journeys are not long in the discomfort space because it is simply a sojourn through unfamiliar or uncomfortable.  When we bring our attention into our hearts into their very rhythm we find ourselves living a sojourn between breaths.  We assume it will come but we do not know and then after a while, we get used to not knowing.  God invites us to be with the rhythm of our hearts when we want to run amuck on the fear train conjured in our minds.  By reconnecting to our own internal flow, we can ride the sojourn around each moment of change and feel with our whole selves what it means to embody life.
