change and standing still

what never changes is change itself. riiiight! and what must one do when its happening? not panicking... riiiight! ever noticed what happens to you when you have a craving and you took care of it, or you cry your eyes out, or you get really super angry, what happens after?

and that is standing still when events around you are changing. each moment there are unseen events- your cheek cells are reproducing because you bit your cheek accidently, your kidneys are working and your eyes are looking for the bathroom as you shop at a mall, your friend is tring to reach you on your cell to tell you she is getting married, a plane schedule is changed due to a hurricane, others are hammering down planks on their windows to sheild against the wind...

and amidst these multitude of events, we are all changing physically within whilst an unchanging part of us is connected to each other trying to live moments as they reveal themselves...
