CHANGING SEASONS: WHEN HAIR CELLS BEGIN TO DIE!




Image result for hair shedding pictures


Nothing stays the same, and you can almost always count on things to get worse before they get better.
We observe the wind, the clouds and brilliantly study meteorology but many times, it seems a little difficult to tune into and quickly adapt to the changing seasons in different portions of our lives. And truly, with all the emotional attachment we’ve had to each peculiar season, it is indeed hard to pack our bags and just move on.
Hair cells undergo drastic changes; from anagen (growth) to catagen (involution) to telogen (shedding) phases. The anagen phase is usually the longest for most hair cells, as about 90% of them are in this phase for at least 3-5 years. Therefore, it serves as a rude shock when involution and shedding of the cells begin to occur.
Such rude shock waves may seem to permeate our spaces and here are a few tips to help us survive the telogen phases of our lives and re-launch into the anagen phases:
1.    1. Get out of circulation! The best thing to do at first is to go into seclusion, trying to understand the season and appropriate steps to take so as to get our feet back.
Isa 26:20
 Go home, my people, and lock the doors! …
2.    2.  Be sensitive. The new comes after the old, always. Forget the previous occurrences. Certain things and people in our lives are seasonal.
Isa 28:12
This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing:
3.    3.  Be ready to take new instructions. In this new season, you might be required to leave your comfort zone. They might also come in a step-wise fashion, climbing the rungs of the ladder might prove difficult if one doesn’t take them as such.
Isa 28:13
But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little;
4.    4.  Do not make haste. This is the time to create more beautiful, greater things; not the time to ‘show people pepper’. Stop trying to prove to people that you have moved on.
Isa 28:16
…he that believeth shall not make haste.

5.     5. Carry out the specific instructions specifically. Do not be surprised if all things you are to do require entirely new and fragmental steps to be carried out- afterall- this is new territory! The same technique will not be appropriate for all situations.
Isa 28:24
Do farmers plow and plow and do nothing but plow?
Or harrow and harrow and do nothing but harrow?


Nothing stays the same. Make the best use of seasons, even when they change.

#MONDAY’S PROSE THIS CHILD; ON THE ROAD

Through my myopic eyes, a fleeting image of a little boy is formed on my retina A little boy in a little suit, Treading the familiar bushy routes before him The boy had neither escort nor directives And surely, he needed none For a 4 yr old on the road possesses more maturity than a 10 year old in ‘comfort’ Swiftly, she navigated through cars held in traffic An adventurous smile tugging at her split lips Providing snacks for impatient car-owners And though panting from car-chasing, She had a visible life of passionate content She probably planned to get off the street, Forsake her hypothetical ‘street-urchin boyfriend’, Give up this demeaning way of living, But I feared she wouldn’t! She hadn’t been wired to get off the street And sadly, she was too content to stage a forced exit. Children on the road and teenagers of the road, Not choosing to be this vulnerable Yet hooded and shrouded in the cold, Filled with shreds of hope that the fut...

LIKE FAITH AND LOVE

Gal 5:6 - For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love. The heart and the lungs are like faith and love, their functions intertwined, their locations proximate, the feelings that they generate just as conclusive. They produce hope for the survival of the physical body, just like faith and love produce hope for the spiritual body’s survival. Experiences of today made me realize something: we need faith intertwined with love to breathe as spirit beings, as much as we need the functional capacity of our cardio-respiratory apparatuses to breathe the breath of life. It’s that important…faith and love I mean.
