Lights On

“Change is the only constant” concluded my ma’m while teaching a poem at school. She also added that change is always for the better. True. Things must change, people must change and situations too must change. Otherwise, life would be very monotonous and boring. But human beings have a general tendency to show resistance to change. We feel apprehensive about leaving the cozy environment we are used to, and shifting to a new environment. We all want things to be just the same.

Well, but I’m not the least apprehensive about this new change happening around me. People change, and let them change. But I wonder how to respond to it. Shall I let them be, leave them alone and give them their solitude and space? Or shall I stick to them and behave as if nothing has happened? I’m mystified.

I guess, they need their solitude and space. And giving it to them is the best I can do for them. I’m there whenever they need me. They can knock my door in the dead of night, and I would spring up from my deepest sleep to assist them. But for the moment, they need space, and I give it to them. This, in a way, would also help me to grow. I guess, I’m being too very friendly and informal with this I’ll-keep-a-little-distance-with-you friend of mine. Our friendship also needs loads of time and space.

So, no mystifications, only conclusions. I give to the Lord. He’ll do what is apt and appropriate.
