Moving Day #2


The only constant is change - this a fundamental truth carrying us through transitions and transformations oftentimes upheavals all the time knowing that the opposite is stagnation ( never good.) Movement equals life as with migrating monarchs a wildebeest's wanderings all of us engaged in a laborious trek journeying towards the new, the frequently unknown. Necessity is our launch a seeking for something better, a place to rest, - somewhere called home. And I can envision wagon ruts still visible across the plains and I am aware of cultural diasporas history's repeated human exodus the myriad travails of a gypsy soul. Though sometimes belongings are simply packed into a car or a truck and we change locales ( a venturing forth still) full of excitement and possibility although stressful and tiring too, we move, pull up stakes and settle in once more.
