The focus of the month is called “Life: A continuous movement— rhythm, flow, and change”. It is what we experience, that life doesn’t stop. In my own life, when I am grieving— a death, or an end of a relationship, a loss of something that was important to me— there’s a surreal quality in realizing that life didn’t stop for me, though I feel that in those moments of bleakness, it should. During those times, it is with indignation and a sense of injustice that despite the tragedy that has befallen me, business is as usual for most everyone else. Life does go on, including myself. In the same manner, when things are peaceful, uneventful, predictable, normal, ordinary, time can feel faster, they fly by without us taking much notice. During those moments, life is also continuous. There is also a rhythm to it, there are also changes, albeit not as drastic or noticeable or sudden. This is simply how we experience life— flowing, continuous, rhythmic. And it helps to remember that, so we don’t get stuck when things are difficult, we don’t get attached when things are good, and we are also aware that as life flows, we move with it as an active participant. We are not just watching life go by, we live this life as it goes by.
