All changes, even the most longed for,
have their melancholy; for what we leave
behind us is a part of ourselves; we must
die to one life before we can enter another.
~ Anatole France*

Perfect. And reassuring.
what has been given
what is yet to come
still
a longing
all along
No matter how positive the change ... change remains change and adjusting.
