All creations are subject to the laws that govern and maintain the greater cycles of life. Active gives way to passive, passive heralds a return to activity; all must be reconciled and then start again.

Learning to observe, recognize, and honor these cycles as aspects of our own consciousness liberates us from being unconsciously identified with whatever may momentarily appear and disappear within them. Our fear of change is replaced with a wonder of what new good they have come to herald. In this way, we gain the patience needed to possess and perfect our soul. We find a new order of freedom for having realized that while everything in life must come and go, the source of light by which we now witness this parade of cycles has no end.
