Change is Growth

Relationships are like works of art, like a sculputure or priceless vase. Once cracked or fractured or shattered it can never really be restored to it's original beauty. The more beautiful and valuable the vase, the more desparate the effort and the realization that it is forever changed. That said, I've found that change is not something that people choose. Rather, change chooses us most of the time, and we muddle through, learning things we must, making choices that shape not only our lives, but the lives of others. Illusions gone, reality staring us in the face, and the true change happens when we see the effect of change on our souls. For me, change is a matter of growth. Embrace growth, embrace change. Quotes from 2 musical greats.
"What we have to learn we rarely choose"~ George Michael.
"The only thing that stays the same is change" ~ Melissa Etheridge

Sometimes when you try to help another, you help yourself. In responding to the blog of a bright young soul I realized that maybe these words might be helpful to more than just that one soul.
