Change/transformation

I recently read an article comparing life to a series of trapeze swings. The article suggested that we go through periods of relative comfort during which we have become familiar with the predictability of a given life situation, or trapeze bar. We then go through periods of change during which it seems that we are "hurtling through space" on our way to another trapeze bar. The author suggests that the period of transition between trapeze bars, like I am going through now, is extremely important, which I have found to be true. The author summarizes his point nicely; "And so transformation of fear may have nothing to do with making fear go away, but rather with giving ourselves permission to hang out in the transition between trapeze bars. Transforming our need to grab that new bar, any bar, is allowing ourselves to dwell in the only place where change really happens. It can be terrifying. It can also be enlightening, in the true sense of the word. Hurtling through the void, we just may learn how to fly."
