Landslides of Change

Change is a word that makes most of us cringe. We like our comfort zone. But change is not only necessary in life, it is inevitable. No matter how hard we resist change, it seeks us out. In fact, some say that the definition of crazy is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
Sometimes change is subtle- slow, to the point of when it is realized that it feels like we are blindsided. Sometimes we beg for change- climbing mountains to get a different result. But this type of change does not always go as planned either, and we end up in a landslide.

So what is one to do if we cannot control change in our lives?...we can choose how we react. We still have control over our own actions, feelings, viewpoints, whether we bend or break or lay in a corner and cry. Having the power over how we react to change in turn effects change. It is a never ending cycle that is very much alive.

Landslide

 by Stevie Nicks

I took my love and I took it down

I climbed a mountain and I turned around

And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills

'Till Landslide brought me down

Oh mirror in the sky, what is love?

Can the child within my heart rise above?

Can I sail through the changing ocean tides

Can I handle the seasons of my life?

Mmm mmm I don’t know

Mmm mmm

Mmm mmm

Well I’ve been afraid of changing ‘cause I

Built my life around you

But time makes you bolder

Children get older, I’m getting older too

So (Interlude)

I’ve been afraid of changing ‘cause I

I built my life around you

But time makes you bolder, children get older

I’m getting older too

I’m getting older too

So take this love, take it down

Oh if you climb a mountain and you turn around

If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills

Well the landslide will bring it down, down

And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills,

Well maybe, the landslide will bring it down

Well well the landslide with bring it down
