the winds of change

It's as Joan Didion writes in her memoir "The Year of Magical Thinking."

"Life changes fast.
Life changes in the instant.
You sit down to dinner and life as you know it ends."

that's it
that's all it
it's all in those words

the stages
the process
the required steps

i'll get there
we all will

the change is unfortunate
the growth
however
is not.
