Transformations

I was talking to a friend about how much she has changed over the time and she snapped back and said almost in a neurotic voice that " she is the same". I did not respond as this is something she wanted to believe and I let her. But the incident made me think of transformations. 

We, human are never static. We are never the same. Incidents, happy moments, accidents, bad news, break ups, illnesses affect our body immensely changing it, reshaping it, reforming it. As homosapiens we concentrate on state of mind more than the state of body therefore we do not feel the connection to our bodies unless it hurts. Pain becomes the only understandable language between us and our bodies. While we do not feel our body our mind always remembers our most appealing images of ourselves which we tend to take as a frame. That image changes from happy moment to happy moment and if you can sit and give it a thought you will understand that the glimpses of ourselves are taken from very happy moments therefore we remember ourselves beautiful, radiant, young and etc. Photos that we save are always the good ones as we delete the bad ones and forget about them. 

So, in this state of mind we believe that we never change, but we do every second of our lives. We are never the same as happenings in our life change us, transform us, renew us. 

The challenge is to accept it in any form it is now, in any shape it is now, in any new transformation it is now!
Just remember that we are not a statue and static, we are dynamic and changing. And any shape of transformation is valid and beautiful!
