I know change is a bad thing,This one is for my Southern Alter Ego, QB, and anyone else who is going through difficult changes right now. We will make it through and be happy to look back on all of this, I am sure.
it breaks me down into a sorry sad thing,
not some iridescent grateful butterfly.
I resist with defiance,
not the power of a mystic silence.
I will fight the dizzy spiral of goodbye.
And it's alright, it's alright, it's alright.
***
It's a sad and a strange thing,
but it's time and I am changing
into something good or bad, well that's your guess.
I'm my own sovereign nation,
dedicated to a transformation,
marching on with this target on my chest.
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright.
"An adequate life . . . might be described as a life which has grasped intuitively the nature of all things, and has seen and refocused itself to this whole. An inadequate life is one that lacks this adjustment to the whole nature of things—hence its twisted perspective, its partiality, its confusion." Douglas V. Steere, describing the life of Thomas R. Kelly, in A Testament of Devotion.
