a poem in my pocket

Change is the certainty of life —

we (un)certainly hold choice in our hands:

to fear strangeness of change,

or

to face love’s changing challenge;

to hide from (unfamiliar) monsters

or

to seek soul (familiar) opportunities

to shrink

or

to grow!

As we embrace each (minor) moment’s exchange,
we may become (major) catalysts for change:

watch butterflies emerge

encourage spirit’s surge

relieve evil’s scourge.

One must learn to trust the unchangeable One

who forms life

transforms change

conforms us

until his perfect (and perfecting) will be done.
