Always Changing
Karuna and I walked to the local Canadian Tire store, a national automotive/hardware department store, to purchase some small but essential items. I was standing at the corner of an aisle, in the cupboard section, when I overheard two middle-aged women, one of whom—as she was about to purchase some items—said, “They’re always changing everything.”
I poked my head out and replied, “Everything’s always changing.” A philosophical point.
The second woman said, “Oh, as in nothing’s permanent, right?” Continuing on with the fun, she said, “That’s your department isn’t it?” confirming my vocational purpose in life.
“That’s right,” I concurred, and as the two moved on to other aisles, they laughed and so did I, and we all went about our business.
On our return from the store, Karuna and I passed by Ramsden Park where a major renovation is taking place. It’s getting spruced-up, but not with spruce trees. What came to mind was the ‘change’ theme once again, and as the Gitaalludes, the mind itself is in a constant state of flux.
I looked at the park’s grass and thought about how a cow grazing on greenery, will change location, and wander a whole pasture day after day. Yes, in a department store the routine is to shift the merchandise around so that everything gets altered, while in the Spiritual world, the Creator is changeless.
May the Source be with you!
