Everything Changes


Everything changes.
What if that's the best news of all?
That we can change
That we can reimagine our lives
Without blame
Without judgment
With a certain kind of grace that comes from knowing we don't control it all
There is a way that we have to face these things alone
but it doesn't mean that we're the only one.
In every moment of doubt and despair,
There's a moment of doubt and despair being felt somewhere else in the world.
And there is no way for us to be disconnected from each other's suffering or each other's joy.
Both of these things are there at the same time.
We're together.
This is what it means to belong to the human family.
What if the gift is the ending?
What if your silent wish is the beginning of a new dream?
Your loss is the birthplace of hope.
Your mistakes are a new place to begin again.
Your goodbye is the beginning of a new life.
