Reliable reality

Some things change from day to day, and give life a fascinating, though perhaps frightening array of new flavors. Most things, though, are the same as they were the day before.

New developments bring challenges, opportunities, perspectives and resources that were never available before. At the same time, unchanging factors provide a stable foundation upon which to take refuge when necessary and move forward when possible.

When conditions change, it’s never as good as you wished, and never as bad as you feared. You and everyone else will adapt, adjust, find ways to move forward, maybe even learn something.

You’ll continue to treasure what you treasure, to value what you value. You’ll have plenty of chances to apply those values toward real and lasting goodness.

Take a look around, and much of what you see is what you’re already accustomed to seeing. In that reliable reality, find the comfort and confidence to thrive amidst whatever changes may come.

Change is essential for life, and so is steadiness. Embrace the challenge to make the best of both.

— Ralph Marston
