Change. It sweeps away people we love, gardens we've worked on for years, homes where we've been comfortable and wanted to stay. Change can seem like an exposed beach on a winter day; the air is filled with spume and the sound of breaking waves. It's bitter and salt. Nothing can grow there.
A stress scale developed by Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe in the 1960s is designed to measure the amount of stress linked to changes in a person's life—and the health risks that may result. Such risks that are taken as given by many people. But change doesn't have sickness or other trouble. What change can bring, instead, is an opportunity to get back to a spiritual bedrock.
I like to think of living inside Love.
