Loss And Gain
Today I do not need to have everything I love in my life at every moment. Because I care about something, a relationship, a house, a situation, does not mean that I am going to lose it. I trust now that people, places and things in life come and go. That is the nature of it all. Nothing I can do will change that. When I learn to roll with the natural vicissitudes of life, they somehow feel less threatening. I am more willing to allow people, places and things be removed from me because I have come to understand that they will return in the same or different forms. Today I know that that is true; it is the nature of life. But it is a loss that is constantly filled with gain.
I let go so that I can be filled again.
Nothing in the world lasts save eternal change.
Honorat de Bueil, Marquis de Racan
