The Sea of Change William M Blacksmith

Isn't it interesting that sometimes change happens very quickly, at times before you even know it has taken place. Or, very slowly, here we can almost see metamorphosis take place. However it comes, change is never easy. Whether it be moving to a new locale, the death of a loved one, or a life-changing event it's always a shock to the system and some people never really recover their balance. We don't care for it, but change is inevitable and frustrating to our sentient ways. Still, without it we'd die off. We, like all living things have learned to adapt to our environments, however unpleasant they may be. Just listening to the rhetoric of this election season and tell me that people don't fear change. They want it, but they fear it. We must embrace it at all levels or we are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past-regardless of how horrific they were.
