change
comes
bearing
no summons
unsettling stasis
sowing seeds of uncertainty
thrives on abrupt rearrangement of unwitting life

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

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!
