September 30, 2023 – A

Transitions, alterations and transformations
require adjustment, accommodation, and alteration
all our life long.

"That was then, this is now,"
all along the way.

Our adaptability is a function of
our openness to change
and our ability to see the possibility
of adventure and growth 
tucked away in all things.

We never out-grow additional growth.
Growing up some more again today
is what is called for in many of our days.

The same-old same-old is for people
who have died to the opportunities
unfolding before them at all times.

"What are you afraid of trying?
Go there! Do that!" applies to them all.

My heritage is people who never did anything
they hadn't done before--
that hadn't been done by anyone they knew.

"Nothing is new under the sun"
for those who lack the capacity
to grasp and appreciate that
"The old has passed away,
behold the new has come"
again and again
throughout their lives.

I thought about them 
the first time I walked into the Fish Taco place,
and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

I do that with my heritage a lot.
I work at developing the art
of finding/doing all things new.

I track down and nose out
transitions, alterations and transformations
for the wonder of it--
to see what I will do about it
and what it will call forth from me,
in a "No expectations,
no opinions,
no fear," kind of way.

I'm eager to see what's next.
And what I do with it.
