Places Change
by Odin Roark

Places change

There is a place where you need to be
There is a place where your life remains yours
There is a place where only you are allowed

Places change

Now that shadowed place is where you need to leave
The place where your life has manifest growth and pruning
A Place where the shade of time has determined movement

Places Change

Look always for this ever moving ever living place of light
This place where no questions need be asked
A place where only you and you are needed to Be

Places Change

To Be Here Now might truly be The Only Dance There Is

Then again, forms may change as places change, and light may manifest itself in entirely new ways, transformation and exultation in new life beyond the grave... death is not the end, it is just a bend in the road toward eternity... this to me gives far more comfort and is far more a sense of the reality that there is far more beyond our life here on this paltry planet.... we are stardust, we are golden, and we are moving beyond olden days into forever faith! Can you glimpse it?

We should not take too much time mourning the loss because we too, while mourning, are missing out on the life that we have to live apart from the loved one that passed. Life goes on and so should we.

As with everything on this planet, all is born to die. But death is birth into a new realm of existence, a new life. It may be that one will vibrate on a higher plane, leaving the lower behind. Our energy is no longer confined to a physical vessel and now we are free to roam the universe for aeons. Then I believe one will come to truly understand that essential element to one's actual existence. My opinion.

You have also described the experience of the ones left behind from a great loss, tragic death. Their "places change" as well, and they never can go back to where they were. Even if they wanted to.

And Mr. True, you are correct indeed. The only constant in the entire universe is CHANGE. Only permanent thing anyone can count on is Change.

But it's much more exciting to think the spirit lives on, the music gets better, and the dance never ends.

Change is the only constant. May the crossing over be an unforgettable journey long remembered. M.True

"To Be Here Now might truly be The Only Dance There Is"

Oh, I think that is definitely a true and in-depth statement.
