Buckle Up, Dana

"Buckle up, Dana!" 

Looks like 2023 will be a ride of changes…for me.

Now I get a fresh chance to see what I really believe about it (like the difference between talking about something and actually going through it).

The only really scary thing about roller-coasters is how you feel on the ride — the outcome is rarely really in question.  That's the thrill of it (for some people), experiencing something that feels like it will kill you, but never really does.

Change can often feel like that — the end of something you hold on to can feel like death, but it really isn't.  In fact, it often creates a new forms of life.

The only real question is how it feels in the process.  Am I alone and in a final kind of jeopardy or am I not actually in any real jeopardy at all?  We often feel aware of both, don't we?


I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea.
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, at times it's only me.

-- Bob Dylan
