"Fall" in love with change!

Change: Verb, make or become different. Noun, the act or instance of making or becoming different. To alter.

Impermanence: Not lasting or durable, not permanent.

Change. To some people it is a scary thing. Even the word can be frightening; however, there is no avoiding it and the more one tries to fight it the more it pushes back. If there is one thing I have learned about through my Buddhist studies, it is change or as Buddhist's call it, impermanence. I believe that once one is able to accept change/impermanence the world becomes limitless. There is not one thing in existence that is permanent--that is to say--that doesn't undergo change. From the tallest mountain to the smallest molecule, everything is subject to change. Since there is no changing change, I say we embrace it.

"Change" has got to be the word I hear most often coming from my chair. I believe it is because one has control over changing one's appearance. Not to say it's not sometimes scary, but it's exciting at the same time. Seasons change and with them we see hair color and hair styles change. I am a prime example of changing hair color with the seasons. In the fall I turn red with the leaves. Winter, I change to black. Come spring, you can see shoots of blond highlights creeping back in. And by summer, I'm a full blown blond again. I say enjoy, embrace and love change. There is nothing you can do to stop it, but you can have fun with it!
