Relax

Change, that eternal frontier.

A moment in time when Shiva dances away the old moment and a new one comes in.

A place marker delineating a space for growth. Alterations in time that indicate God, or fate, or man, or some unpredictable force is acting upon the present just before the future steps up.

It is understandably often a stressful time.

The less aware I am of cause and effect, the simpler it might be to accept it, but in the same vein of thought, the more I realize how powerless I am, the more frightening it might be.

Or, for people of faith, this yielding or giving up of power, can be freeing!

The idea that what will be, will be, or "que sera sera" walks a fine line between doing nothing and doing just enough. It's that question that is as old as man's first thought. You've got to "know when to pass, know when to fold."

Experience either builds my confidence up in my ability to choose, or it convinces me that I am inept at it.

Believing it is okay to be wrong, gives me an opportunity to learn something new and as long as I live through it, there will be other chances.

So perhaps the question really is, "to be, or not to be." Everything else will work itself out in the long run.
