Lonely Confused Changing

Change is inevitable, have you noticed? Of course you have. Have you accepting it? If we don’t accept change our experience becomes loneliness and confusion.

Or if we simply accept and observe change, the changing we experience can be connected, clear growing. Everyone, every moment is changing and growing, from before our conception up to this very moment. Before our mothers and fathers even met, we were here in other form, changing. Now we are here in this form, and our form and the world around are changing, which can feel very lonely and confused, especially if we resist change rather than dancing with it.

Let’s not go into the pretending place of no change. That effort is called anxious, painful, difficulty, anger, confusion, loneliness. Stay with your body here, reading, understanding, breathing, listening (yes your ears have been listening the whole time your eyes were reading). Let go of “if” whether it leads to good or bad. Just for this moment, let go of if…….and here returns, and now returns.

We’re changing now. I am, you are, they are. The world and universe are, and that’s amazing. The constant change can be confusing if we don’t accept it. When we accept constant change, we are pure observing, we are pure observation, and the lonely, confusing self disappears again, for a moment.
