Welcome to this week's episode of Tuesday Musings, where we explore the subtle, powerful forces shaping our lives. Today, we’re talking about the wind of change—its challenges, its constancy, and the unshakable stillness that exists within it.
There is a wind that moves through our lives, shifting, stirring, unsettling. It carries with it the whispers of transformation, the echoes of endings, and the breath of beginnings. We call it change—sometimes welcomed, sometimes resisted, but always inevitable.
Change arrives like the seasons, sometimes gently like the first hint of autumn coolness, other times like a storm that leaves nothing untouched. It challenges our routines, reshapes our expectations, and asks us to grow in ways we never anticipated. It can be exhilarating, terrifying, and deeply uncertain. And yet, even in its most unpredictable moments, there is something steady within it—a presence, a truth, a constant.
For beneath all change, there exists an unchanging foundation. A stillness at the center of the shifting winds. Perhaps it is the essence of who we truly are—beyond the roles we play, beyond the circumstances that rise and fall like waves. This unshakable core remains, even as life weaves its unpredictable patterns around us.
So how do we embrace both—the movement and the stillness, the fleeting and the eternal?
We begin by listening. Just as the wind carries messages from far-off places, change speaks to us if we are willing to hear it. Instead of bracing against it, we can turn toward it, asking: What is this moment teaching me? What is being reshaped so that something new can emerge? In the pauses between the gusts, we find clarity.
We also cultivate trust. Like a tree rooted deeply in the earth, we can remain steady even as the winds bend our branches. Change may shift the landscape, but it does not erase the sky or the soil beneath our feet. There is something within us—call it wisdom, soul, presence—that remains untouched by the comings and goings of circumstances.
And most of all, we learn to surrender. Not in defeat, but in acceptance. The river does not resist its course; it moves with the land, flowing toward the vastness of the sea. Likewise, when we stop clinging to the past or fearing the future, we find ourselves carried with greater ease into the unfolding of life.
The wind of change will continue to blow, as it always has. But within it, there is always a still point—a constant, unchanging presence that holds us steady no matter what comes. If we can learn to rest in that, we will find that change is not something to fear, but something to dance with, something to learn from, and ultimately, something that reminds us of what is truly eternal.
So let us breathe deeply. Let us welcome the winds. And let us remember the unshakable stillness within them.
