Love Letter #77: The Weight of Change
I came upon this poem today as I am feeling the weight of changing things in my own life.
“It is okay
To take time
To process
The weight
Of changing things
And it is okay
To not be sure
Of what the
Coming months
Will bring,
But may you know
That even here
You are much more
Than those things
And there is still room
To come alive
And thrive
Within the
Waiting”
Morgan Harper
How often we avoid making changes that we’re being called to make because what’s next is so uncertain and unknown.
It is not only okay to take time to process change, it’s important to do so. To feel the letting go, to release the attachment to what was, and to grieve for who you were up until this moment.
It’s funny how change doesn’t really happen all at once. It percolates. And as it does, realizations rise to the surface. A nudge here. An insight there. And then, seemingly all at once, things have changed.
Even if we resist what’s changing initially, eventually we can only lean into it, otherwise we lose something of our emerging self. We dishonor who we are becoming, and that can only be more of who we are meant to be.
Life is ever expressing and expanding upward and onward.
Think about your life and all the changes you’ve experienced. Has any of it not brought you to a better place…eventually?
Change may be pressing against your being. Or maybe you’re in the midst of change or contemplating change. Remember that this is Life moving through you as it moves you into becoming. And, in the process, in the waiting as it were, there is still room for living, thriving, and coming alive.
With Love,
