Change As pretentious as Leonard Cohen can be (and he certainly goes to town a little in this piece), the following poem perfectly describes how I feel when the weather breaks. As much as I hate driving on bad roads, the cold and the short days, by the time spring rolls 'round, I'm all like, "I was just getting the hang of this winter thing!  ".
REDEDICATION
A painful rededication, this Spring, like the building of cathedrals between wars, and masons at decayed walls; and we are almost too tired to begin again with miracles and leaves and lingering on steps in sudden sun; tired by the way isolated drifts lie melting, like hulks of large fish rotting far upbeach; the disinterested scrapes of shovels collecting sand from sidewalks, destroying streams; and school-children in streetcars, staring out, astonished. We had learned a dignity in late winter, from austere trees and dry brown bushes, but Spring disturbs us like the morning, and we may hope only for no October. Do you ever feel like this when the season starts to change? | |

That's often true. But it can also be scary. It was never easy for me to let changes happen and especially to let things go because of things that happened in my childhood. But I am working on it  .
Letting Go (by Sananda/Terence Trent D'Arby): The knife's edge pierces Autumn And stabs the wind we fear But we must find ourselves Before we disappear By knowing when to move on We keep the peace with our pride We seldom live our moments Before the leaves have dried But it's a peaceful feeling when We surrender And there is healing power in Letting go Alone, confused, and naked Is when we are most sacred Fear is the enemy That strikes out at our sanity By keeping faith in our promise We drink from Eros fountains We confirm that we are here Moving up on higher mountains... And it's a peaceful feeling when... We surrender And there is healing power in... Letting go And it's a peaceful feeling when... We surrender There is healing power in... Letting go Letting go Hush, hush I hear music Falling down like rain Hush, I feel mercy And forgiveness I see Golden Light... Shining ever-bright Into the light I'll go... And it's a peaceful feeling when We surrender And there is healing power in Letting go And it's a peaceful feeling when We surrender There is healing power in... In letting go Letting go... With a very special thank you to Tina: Is hammer already absolute, how much some people verändern...ICH hope is never so I will be! And if, then I hope that I would then have wen in my environment who joins me in the A.... | |

I generally embrace each change of seasons. I love spring and fall the most and even the beginning of winter is pretty and quiet and peaceful and such. But after 3-4 weeks of winter, I've had my fill and I'm praying for warmer weather. |
