change

When do we change? How do we change? Is it a process? Or an instantaneous thing?When does the student become master?The more I pondered, the more I realized that when the person is ready, then change occurs. It is like the caterpillar butterfly thing. Metamorphosis does take place. Caterpillars do become butterflies.But timing is crucial in its development. For change to occur within us, first and foremost, there should be desire within us to change. The desire, the wanting to change is the time when we are actually ready to shift gear, to change course. After that decision is made , with a little bit of coaxing, right mentoring and attitude...change can occur at any time....sometimes in a twinkling of the eye, or sometimes through trial and error.
The reason I am writing about this is because for quite sometime now, I have been contemplating about one characteristic of mine that I wished to change. The desire was there and a niggling thought at the back of my head that I wanted to change. Today, as I was stepping out in the sunshine, watching the daisies kiss the blue skies with their warmth, it suddenly struck me that I had changed. When, how ...the exact moment eluded me. All I knew was that I had really wished to change and because the intensity of my wishing was so strong, it sort of catapulted my thinking into action. Wow!!! I was seeing the world with new eyes.Bingo! do I make sense? Its something to ruminate on.
