Diary of a Heretic → The Times They Are A-Changing
(Written September 16, 2008 by Janine)
Well after a colder than normal winter, spring has finally made its grand entrance with a spectacular warm day last Saturday followed by a fresh cleansing downpour of rain and then gusts of wind to blow away any leftover residual energy and to bring in the new energy of the season.
This is the time of year when our thoughts turn to ‘spring cleaning’. The most common usage of spring cleaning refers to the annual act of cleaning a house from top to bottom, however it has also come to be synonymous with any kind of heavy duty cleaning or organising enterprise on a personal, national and sometimes a planetary basis. In fact have you noticed that there seems to be a massive spring cleaning going on all over the world at the moment, particularly with the aftermath of Ike symbolically bringing with it the winds of change? No doubt we will all experience the ripple effect with the crash of so many investment banks and the faltering US economy.
Change is the current catchphrase of so many politicians and change we will have, which after all it is the only constant in our life. There is no doubt that we are entering a period of turbulence which is all part of the natural cycle of life. The only way a system regains its balance is to let go of what is redundant; which includes life styles, monetary systems and hopefully governments. Once this takes place the system can rejuvenate itself thus allowing itself to recycle back up to a new evolutionary level of creation.
It is comforting to know that everything in this Universe has an ending point and a starting point and everything IS as it should be.
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin’
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changing
