Change – how we deal / let go / learn

"Human beings are always, and always will be, a frontier between what is known and what is not known. The act of turning any part of the unknown into the known is simply an invitation for an equal measure of the unknown to flow in and reestablish that frontier: to reassert the far horizon of an individual life; to make us what we are – that is - a moving edge between what we know about ourselves and what we are about to become. What we are actually about to become or are afraid of becoming always trumps and rules over what we think we are already." ©2014David Whyte ~ Excerpted from ‘SELF KNOWLEDGE' From the upcoming book of essays CONSOLATIONS: The Solace, Nourishment and Underlying Meaning in Everyday Words.

As stated in Barack Obama's post voting thank you, "The hardest thing in politics is changing the status quo. The easiest thing is to get cynical." 

Whatever the outcome, they are better because we stepped up, talked to our family and friends, and cast our ballot.
