The Immutable Law of Change

Everything's been changing so much lately, that I have started contemplating what change means. It's a feeling felt whether you are out traveling or not. Life is dynamic, and at first glance changes can be challenging. Change means newness, it means entering a new stage and leaving an old one. And yes, it is so challenging when you dwell on the losses. But past experiences are not losses, they are gains. An experience is thrown into your backpack and you carry it on your way. Just make sure it's not too heavy or burdensome!
But once you accept that change is a universal law-that I call "The Immutable Law of Change"-once you accept its omnipresence, the challenges becomes less worrysome. Like swimming in the ocean waves-you can let the waves carry you to shore (judo style) or keep fighting its power, leaving you exhausted. Change comes in waves, and swimming against will take away your energy.
Change was on my mind as I was skimming the book titles at the book store in Seoul, and I came across one that called out to me. In the religion section I saw a book called "The book of change"! It was the "I Ching" (ancient Chinese religion/philosophy) book. I didn't buy it, but looked it up on Wikipedia, an I learned a bit about this idea. Basically there are 64 "hexagrams", which are each unique in makeup. Each has 3 stacked lines side by side, some lines are broken, some unbroken, each represents a different concept.
Coicedentally there are four displayed on no other than the Korean flag, show here (hopefully). On the flag there is Heaven, Water, Earth, and Fire (beginning top left and proceeding clockwise).
Basically, accept and even rejoice change-because there's no stopping it!
