Here is your Thursday STORY on: ADAPTING TO CHANGE: I have had a strange week this week, one of which has been several battles over certain changes. I don't refer specifically to major changes in my life, but little events that happen each week and for some strange reason haven't been happening this week. As a consequence of these changes I've had to change my routine. This has thrown out my good sense of equilibrium. I have practiced for some years to keep changes into check and avoid them controlling my next action. But inevitably... too many at once and a sense of confusion arises. This confusion is allowed to rise as you understand the reason for it. Adapting to change is not easy to cope with. This next story has a strange twist. Please read it first and I'll elaborate later. BELIEF! There was a well-educated man who solemnly announced to his friends that he would never believe anything which he could not understand. An old farmer overheard the remark, turned to the young intellectual and said, "As I went into town today, I passed a field where some sheep were feeding. Do you believe that?" "Yes, " said the young man. "Not far away from the sheep some cows were also grazing. Do you believe that?" "Yes, " was the reply. "Not far from the cows were some pigs eating grass. Do you believe that?" "Yes." "All right, now you listen to this, " said the farmer. "The grass the sheep ate turned into wool. The grass the cows ate turned into milk. The grass the pigs ate turned into fibre. The grass that the chicken eat turned into feathers. Do you believe that?" "Yes, " the young man said. "Do you understand it?" "No, " admitted the young man. "Young man, " said the farmer, "if you live long, you will find that there are a great many things which you believe without understanding. May I suggest the will of God is one of them." (by: Bruno Hagspiel, The Millennium Stories by Frank Mihalic) Of course I would suggest that understanding is half the battle. It is more of a 'knowing' a 'gut feeling' that I refer to. In a practical sense the word understanding is used. However, as we delve deeper into philosophy and wisdom, you'll come across the description that we KNOW rather than understand. To KNOW is and instant reaction. To try an analyse something beyond the KNOWING could confuse the issue. Just sometimes to KNOW is enough, without any explanation needed. The following quote is so simple it makes me smile every time I read it. If you find that adapting to change is difficult, bring this quote to mind. It isn't about returning, but changing course. QUOTE: 'Life is always going forward. If you feel you're going backwards, just turn around.' (Eva Gregory)
