hurricanes, tornadoes and volcanic eruptions better titled: CHANGE



Change.
What causes us to make changes when it
is too hard to do it on our own?
When you know change has to happen but
you really aren't sure how to do it because
life gets too comfortable and it is scary
to think of change even if you aren't happy.
So this morning I examine natural disasters.
With hurricanes, tornadoes and volcanic eruptions
days before things around look normal.
The sun may be shining and people are living
their lives but pressure is brewing.
Sometimes there are warnings and sometimes
there are not but the pressure, the turmoil is brewing.
Finally the day comes when it blows.
It either spews it's lava all over the lands
or comes in to land bringing disaster with it.
Finally the disaster is done and things are calm
once more. The dust settles and things can
be seen in a different light.
Things that weren't important to you before
become prized possessions and you pick it up
and you dust it off and never again will that
possession be taken for granted.
Sometimes when the dust settles there is
forced need for change.
Even if you don't want to do it and you cry
because all you thought you loved is gone
the change has to happen, there is no other choice.
Family and friends come out of the woodwork
to help each other.
Even those who haven't talked for months
come out to help.
It is painful, yet with this change that we sometimes
feel we just can't do, a disaster comes to give
us no other choice but to do what is the right
thing to do.
To pick up the pieces of what is salvageable
and move on. Sometimes we are thankful
for the disaster because we have a better life now.
We find ourselves better people and at a better
place than we ever thought possible.
So is life, natural disasters happen
even in families and in the end things are
better than you ever thought imaginable.
Because the family rallies, truth is spoken
and change is imminent.
Nothing gives me more comfort in times
of trouble than my favorite Beatles:
WHEN I FIND MYSELF IN TIMES OF TROUBLE
MOTHER MARY COMES TO ME
SPEAKING WORDS OF WISDOM
LET IT BE...
AND WHEN THE BROKEN HEARTED PEOPLE
LIVING IN THE WORLD AGREE
THERE WILL BE AN ANSWER
LET IT BE
FOR THOUGH THEY MAY BE PARTED
THERE IS STILL A CHANCE THAT THEY WILL SEE
THERE WILL BE AN ANSWER
LET IT BE...
AND WHEN THE NIGHT IS CLOUDY
THERE IS STILL A LIGHT THAT SHINES ON ME
SHINE UNTIL TOMORROW
LET IT BE...
I WAKE UP TO THE SOUND OF MUSIC
MOTHER MARY COMES TO ME
THERE WILL BE AN ANSWER
LET IT BE
I adore and love you baby girl...

  2. We go from Deanna Carter to The Beatles .... you should be using Ozzy instead ... it's much more appropriate ... "Times have changed and times are strange, Here I come but I ain't the same, Mama, I'm coming home ...."
