What sort of relationship do you have with wind? A warm wind off the ocean is quite a different experience than the brutal winds of a blizzard. In the same way that the temperature changes the way we are affected by wind, our emotional climate dictates how we handle the winds of change.
At some times, change is seen as opportunity. At other times and in other circumstances, change can be experienced as a cruel twist of fate. Regardless of how you have historically dealt with change, the winds of change are blowing. Nowhere in our lives is change more apparent than in the area of relationships.
Recently I (Debra) read an article by a man who “came out of the closet” as a bisexual, confessing to his wife that he had been dating men. Rather than ending their marriage, this confession opened up communication and sharing that has created greater understanding and love.
While your changes are likely to be tamer than those of this couple, be aware that you are “at choice” how you want to view change. Being prepared while expecting the best is why we put a spare tire in our vehicles. Notice places you had been clinging to the way things were. Listen to the metaphors you use to speak about what is coming to be.
March is known for winds. Let this month blow away what is outmoded in your life and bring forth fresh ideas and manifestations.
Life is Mostly Quiet
Believe me, you don’t have to know.
Not so much that you render yourself helpless.
Helpless in the face of what Life brings next.
So make peace with knowing very little.
About Love.
About Others.
About how life should be.
Make amends with how things are.
Not knowing a thing,
walk with gentle knees,ready to drop to them, at any moment
that Life dictates it.
Keep an empty hand
so that it can be brought to your heart
when a grief arrives.
Make up a bed that you can fall into
as your own, comforting arms.

We come to find that Life is mostly quiet.
It asks us to live by our Knowing, while
surrendering that very same thing.
It vibrates easily around us,
candid and benevolent.
You see, it’s only
when we root ourselves solid in some Knowing again,
that Life seems to have to shout –
rises,
lovingly,
from Its whisper.
