Decided to start blogging for the simple reason that not all can be aired on FB. Maybe this can be a sort of an open diary... we'll see :)

I chose the name for my blog from Shakespeare (Ariels song in the Tempest starting "Full fathoms five..."), and I love the definition of sea change:

1. a striking change, as in appearance, often for the better.
2. any major transformation or alteration.
3. a transformation brought about by the sea.

I think that of all of them I'm definitely in for number one and number two isn't too bad either...

My life is in such a stage of change that it is diccicult to know how all this will end, what the outcome will be, but the name I chose as my middle name for FB, Chrysalis, describes what I I'm aiming for: what once was an earthbound little caterpillar will be an airborne thing of beauty :)

Whether it will be visible for outside observers is another thing...

Thinking about change, it's one of those tension things: too much of it and you become a rootless, anxiety filled drifter and too little of it and one just hardens into this rock like formation, defending itself by rigidity. It is as if we were meant to have enough stability to give us the courage to change and to chart unexplored seas ... but not so much that the stability of mutable things defines us.

I so like these quotes I found concerning change and letting go:

‎"We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the life that is waiting for us"
Joseph Campbell

"Letting go isn't about giving up. It's about accepting that there are things that cannot be." Author unknown

Change becomes difficult if I am holding on to everything I have, if I consider myself so poor that I do not dare to lose even a nugget of what I have amassed, be it material or more intangible things.

So in this blog I want to explore and share what this seachange brings... the best is yet to come!
