change is in the air at unity

Rosemary Fillmore Rhea wrote in the Foreword to “Finding Yourself in Transition” by Robert Brumet:
 
“Perhaps we would agree that the keynote to life is change. We see it everywhere present in nature: the tadpole becomes a frog; the larva of the Monarch butterfly becomes an exquisite winged creature. Change is especially evident in the tress. When the air chills, the leaves change their colour and shower down, leaving the trees dark and bare. And then, as winter moves into spring, once again the trees come alive, first with a new host of green and then bursting forth with a rich collage of foliage. The whole universe is woven with a harmonious ebb and flow.
 
And, just as there is a harmonious ebb and flow in nature, there is also a divine rhythm at work in our individual lives. The patterns of our days are marked by endings and beginnings. Every one of us is an integral part of the cosmic dance of the universe.”
 
I love these words – they speak to me. We are part of, and one with, the creative power of the universe, which we may call God. In the physical universe this exists through change. For everything we experience through our human senses, changes. And rightly so. It is how we know we are alive. If everyone remained the same, what would be the point of being here? If everyone was the same as everyone else, life would be boring and I for one, would not be here.
 
I write of change, as I have instigated change at Unity, having released my role as Director of Silent Unity and Daily Word UK, to a new Unity minister, Rev Wally White. (There will be more to follow about this good man.)
 
I have questioned this decision many times over the last year, for it is a huge one. Yet every time I centred and got quiet and still, I knew it to be the next right step for me. And bless my husband, Paul, he is supporting me through this process.
 
Change can be daunting, scary and exciting, all at the same time. And I appreciate, that having been the director for over 20 years, most people have kind of got used to me and not even thought about me leaving.
 
So, together let us acknowledge the power of change, as Rosemary Fillmore Rhea wrote. Let us witness how change brings new possibilities, new opportunities, new growth; as in nature, it is true for all of us. And I invite you to get excited about Rev Wally White following the call of spirit to come to the UK and take up the role.
