Rock Steady

This past fall, I took a beginning geology class at a local university.  One apparent fact, after the elementary introduction, is that rocks are formed as a result of temperature and pressure.  The only prior knowledge I have of such metamorphosis is demonstrated by placing a water filled ice tray into the freezer. After time,  the transition from liquid to solid is revealed. 

Considering this example of transformation in nature makes sense.  Change for me is a result of internal and external temperature and pressure.  To evoke lasting change, I have to undergo chaos.  From that experience, I can choose to focus on the evolved existence or to allow insecurity to take hold and create dissonance causing further conversion.  I like this fluid explanation … I can be in harmony with the volcanic-like spew of crisis knowing that as a predicament settles down there is a new reality and within this truth, I can be authentic.
