In her newish series My Shorts Alice throws lots of ideas out there. In Part 28 she ponders loss and change - it's the only option in recovery. All your experiences - even the really ugly ones - can be used to power change folks!
We don't mourn the leaf.
We don't mourn the blossom
falling, falling and ignored.......
trampled in our rush to the next season.
Spring, Autumn welcomed,
Summer - the golden child.
We don't mourn the stages in the physical space,
so why do we hang on to youth?
Long hair, plump lips and a waist?
Why do we spend so much time retaining or trying,
regaining what we lost through 'age,'
that dirty word?
Our skills evolve - we don't lose them.
The wink becomes the sales target,
the anger can become the pause,
the chaos can become the peace.
We don't mourn the leaf,
we don't mourn the blossom.
Let's embrace our changes, our ageing, our evolution.
Every skill, every minute, every word (even those we
regret) can be used to power change.
Nothing is wasted.
Time spent, love spent.
Wisely or unwisely
It's still in the rear view now.
Alice lives at 361diamond.co.uk and is getting on a bit.
