My lighthouse is prayer and mediation. I feel safe and guided by the universe when I take the time to align my will with what's best for the world around me. Thanks again!

Good change, bad change, the pleasant surprises along life’s little way, the minor irritations that set you off course. Yet, for a lot of us, the idea of change fills us with a sense of dread and fear that compares to very little." I don't think we are afraid of change; we just don't like drastic or empty change. Humans are rational beings; we like to calibrate stuff. This is why transitional change is more preferred. “Change will happen.

You have picked up a life topical subject. Changes affilicts us all some or other time in life. It is the theme of the book 'Who Moved my Cheese'. In-experienced and untrained about how to manage 'Changes' we are all frightened of changes. Untrained and due to our anexity we manage the changes occuring in our lives successfully or disasterously. As we grow and after having negotiated a few changes of our life. we begin to accept them as inevitable and become more confident. We also learn that what happens when the change occurs and its aftermath have simply just to be accepted and borne. Lighthouse or God or who so ever we have faith in, is just a placebo we humans use to accept the change. This is not a sign of weakness but a method of management of our fear of the unknown. The above not withstanding your post educate all on a very essential subject; and it is very well written too. Keep it up. The painting is very good too. I will be reading your post more regularly if you promise to keep writing on such intresting subjects. I too have written about 'Fear of the Unknown' in my blog. If you have the time and inclination you may visit my blog at bharthiae.wordpress.com. I do think you will like it. Rgds Vijay Hi Wendi,
