“New Waves of Change” by Ed Swarez
change
comes
bearing
no summons
unsettling stasis
sowing seeds of uncertainty
thrives on abrupt rearrangement of unwitting life
Fibonacci 19 – Labile

Words of Wonder, Worry and Whimsy

There’s mathematics behind that, isn’t there? I’m not knowledgeable enough to understand it, but the line length has a beautiful pattern. 🙂

The timing of this poem’s arrival in my Inbox is impeccable.
I pondered awhile, wondering whether to thank you or the whole natural world whose beauty the Fibonacci sequence seems to describe.
I concluded that to thank one is to thank the other.
So thank you (both)

So my question is: Is change our enemy or our friend? I once taught it as the later; now I’m not so sure . . .

could be either, I suppose – what’s important is how we adapt to its consequences – but adaption takes hard work, and I’m no longer up to it – hence, my resistance to change

Just when I think life is settling into a pattern, more changes that leave me not knowing whether I’m up or down. There is something extremely comforting in regularity and pattern. I guess the universe likes to keep us on our toes. Bugger!
