There are those moments when you know you're not just being hormonal (and sorry, guys, you have hormones too!) when you feel a deep cry well up from inside an inner cavity within your soul. It's a well filled with tears of every imaginable kind...and then some. Actually, it's mostly a cry of unimaginable origin. You don't even know what's in there. It's frightening. For a few breaths you long for restraints because it's so overwhelming.

In the wild, sometimes these moments can turn into seasons.

All seasons change, but this is the season called Change.

What do we do in this season?

How is this season defined?

Change can be frantic and bustling and bottom-of-the-pit lonely.

It is the season of everything. It is the season of nothing. Both together and apart.

It's the season of answers and of no replies.

The season of Change can seem out of control and also the doorway to order.

Change is filled with dichotomy, or at least the illusion of it.

Actually, change can be filled with illusions, when you really look.

It's crazy, it's only sane. It's the best of times, it's the worst of times!

This cry for change/of change pulsates within your belly, wells itself up through your esophagus, makes you want to hurl most of the time.

But change makes your appetite insatiable.

Suddenly there is less and more, more or less.

It's important to keep in mind (and speaking of, this is a great time to explore mindfulness,) that you are enough and are filled with enough-the Light of Change.

It seems like every traditional season in the developed world is filled with requirements to fulfill an expected vision of some culturally prescribed kind, usually for somebody else, often to the exclusion of what you feel or think is "right" or believe is life-giving. We even adapt who we are in most seasons for the happiness of retail markets, no matter how you try to disguise it.

Listen closely.

The season of Change is different!

The season of Change is about soul. It's about life and death.

The season of Change is about what really matters.

And maybe change isn't really about dichotomies, after all.

When you're in the thick of Change, when it's really coming on strong, it's about interconnectedness and interdependence.

This short video explains life and interdependence better than I ever could. Give yourself a few minutes to watch it.

Change, which is sometimes synonymous with growth, is your own and it effects everybody.

You have to observe this season for the sake of yourself, but if you don't celebrate it, everyone suffers.

So cry, cry, cry! Let it out!

Whimper at first if it helps you get going.

Howl at the moon and catch your breath with the sun.

And don't hold yourself back when your Roar comes!
