“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.” From the song Closing Time by Semisonic
I must admit, I am very resistant to endings when it comes to circumstances or states that I like. I want to freeze people, conditions. But this is rooted in fear that the current good times cannot be matched. Better to hold on to with them than see what the next state brings
Maybe if I look at events and circumstances like an ocean wave I will be more mindful and accepting from the start that everything in this physical reality has its rise and fall. Perhaps then I’ll be less likely to cling
I just realized that a great deal of my resistance to endings comes from the fact that in my mind end = cease to exist
Can I move towards the mindset of being happy that it happened rather than sad that it’s over?
I see now that this resistance is a hold over from my old belief system that said that events and circumstances just randomly happen in a dead, disconnected universe
In a Universe of connection where Life flows through me to create, where my reality is me, why wouldn’t it be looking forward to the next creation?
Beginnings reveal some previously unseen facet of me or an aspect of myself that has changed and can no longer be represented by the circumstances that are ending
