A single white hair's celebration

For Sarah

In life's journey, change is a constant companion. My dear friend in her mid-20s, recently noticed a single white hair on herself while gazing into the car mirror.  It's a small moment, yet it speaks volumes about the passage of time and the certainty of change. From the wonder of an embryo becoming a baby to the subtle transition from a little girl to a lady, change is woven into our existence.

It's natural to resist change; the unknown can be unsettling, and a subtle fear of the end is embedded in our minds. This fear, oddly enough, is a sign of our love for life. But, here's the thing - that single white hair is not something to fear. It's a gentle reminder to cherish the moments and appreciate life.

Instead of worrying about what might come next, let's focus on the present. That lone hair tells a story of growth, a reminder that life is a journey of continuous change. Yes, we may hold onto the belief that we stay young forever in our hearts, but life unfolds, and we grow.

So, as you notice that single white hair or any other subtle change, let it be a cue to be in the moment, to appreciate life just as it is. Embracing change is not about fearing the future but savouring the present and celebrating the beauty of life's evolving story.

So go, embrace the moment, and catch the essence of life Sarah!
