Change is happening all the time.
Moment to moment, second to second.
Sometimes we notice it and sometimes we don’t.
Especially when we feel stuck, trapped or in a Groundhog Day loop.
But change is inevitable and absolute.
A Universal force of evolutionary momentum.
The world is constantly in motion.
Thus, things are always changing.
Transformation is constant and never ending.
The alchemical principle of vibration tells us that nothing ever rests and that everything is in a cycle of change and transformation.
“Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.”
The great Third Hermetic Principle–the Principle of Vibration–embodies the truth that motion is manifest in everything in the Universe–that nothing is at rest–that everything moves, vibrates, and circles.

Commitment.
Ever since I was a little girl that word has made me buck like a wild horse and gallop away from the thing that was asking for me to stay as fast as I could.
For me, commitment seemed very final.
Like a trap that radically reduced my options as soon as it was in place.
I would gallop away from jobs, from homes, from relationships.
From anything that seemed to place a bridal on my ability to move away at speed when I needed to.
Or perhaps ‘need’ is the wrong word here in this context.
‘Want’ would have been better.
Have you ever heard the phrase “there is never a careless word uttered”?
Well, I was brought up in a family that fed me on a diet of Greek, Egyptian and Native American mythology from age 2 onwards, so was very aware of the power that words must create when spoken with conviction.
In many of these ancient stories, the hero or heroine would seek out, learn, and utter words of power that would literally have the ability to change the world.
Stories form the fabric of our world.
They are the underlying meaning making structure by which culture and societies either thrive or decline.
To tell stories is one thing.
To make them come alive is another.
