Guest guest Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 A poem by Dorothy Walters, for all of you... The Moment Which Changes Everything By now, we all know it by heart. . . that scientific tale of the reputed cat in its theoretical box which could be anything-- black or spotted, here or there, alive or dead, until someone popped off the lid and peered inside, and--voila!--there she was-- a real cat in all of her feline glory snowball or tiger, prancing bronze or calico, already purring and dancing for food. Think about your life. How one day, after so much constant repetition of the weary familiar, the unexpected happens, something you had never dreamed of nor factored into your equation, something strange and startling which takes over and becomes the leitmotif of your life, the Dominant Theme, all possibilities collapsed into a single grain of expectation. Everything thereafter is colored by its hue. This is called " the moment which changes everything. " Dorothy Walters Becky Luggage? GPS? Comic books? Check out fitting gifts for grads at Search.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 That was so beautiful, Becky. Thanks so much for sharing. It allows one to take a real good look at what's changing in their life. All the little changing ways, that they maybe were too busy to notice before. It allows one to see the beauty in change, and just embrace it. It takes the fear out of leaving our old skin behind, as we begin to shed and rid ourselves of a meaningless routine, and grow a brand new color. One which is accommodating for our new path. I feel as though it speaks to me about leaving my old self behind, and not being afraid to let go. The thought of that act, reminds me of the video for the song Sweet Surrender, by Sarah Mclauchlan. In the video, she is watching as her old self is departing from the new. She is singing " It doesn't mean much, it doesn't mean anything at all. That life I left behind me, was a cold one. " Thanks, Becky.
