It's amazing to me how things can flip/flop, and all around change within an instant. Those life altering moments we don't recognize until, it all changes. All, as in the circumstance. All, as in the situation. All, as in your how you proceed to carry-on what you call your life. Within a week I've had things change within my life that I assumed were lasting and images of substance. A person could be lost in the woods only to be found in the trees. A bug could be a live on the hunt for food and seconds later dead on the bottom of a shoe.
There's always that certain moment that happens to any given individual that would cause them to pause and reflect. I've had a few reasons to think everything can change for the better/worse. This past year has been a crystal clear reflection of this inescapable fact that everything can change within an instant.
Ever have that amazing schedule lined up that you've been anticipating for weeks? That one party or that one weekend where its all about what you want to do and you have carte blanche over any and everything that transpires. What if that sense of control or that sense of power was all a fictitious illusion that you assumed to have, only to have not. A party that had any and every indication to be magnificent completely buried itself in its own hype just because of an unforseen factor, the human factor. Whether that factor was you or just another friend and/or acquaintance is irrelevant, what is relevant is the instant change in perception in the said human factor or the atmosphere itself. The inevitability of change comes full-circle whether we stand in its path or not. We are the change....
It painfully obvious to me that one can fall in-infatuation, in-like, or in love in a matter of months and have that all disappear with a single action. Imagine, all the work and patience that you deliver to someone's heart for it all to be cast aside by their ignorance, lack of consideration, or maybe a mistake on your behalf. And then you find yourself in in-pain, in-frustration, and in-loathing. Again, an instance of change, all within a matter of minutes/hours. Along with that sense of affection that changes, so does the individual who was once the object of said affection. Its all relative. Then you find yourself with that refreshing drink of water who's words and presence swoon your once thrashing seas into a steady flowing river of fulfillment. It may lead you to forget an instant or maybe just put it off to deal with at another time. The better for it? That remains to be seen. But trying to make an instant last a lifetime is an impossibility. Better to live in the moment than live for tomorrow.
It isn't logical to see what can't be seen with the naked eye, but to be aware of it all, that's wisdom that would beget certain logic. Understanding that everything changes in an instant is something that I am still struggling with to accept. But my optimism and positives that continue to come out of the gloom, are more than enough of a reassurance that I am on the right track.
