there is a general consensus
that everything changes.
many would point out the rate of change itself is speeding up..
you can make the point with the event of a novelty
that is to say something “new” occurs
We all have such personal events…
which are nice to experience
like ones first kiss or
collectively as in emergence of the cell phone
The world as we know it was changed in ways we could never have predicted
History …is often described by such novelties
the bronze age ..for instance or
the discovery of the plow
today the event of a novelty is routine.
they happen all the time..
and if that is true enough then
novelty itself is no longer is novel
yet I would say to you
look until you find
that which does not change in you
and discover a quality of existance
so many seek
and so few ever find

Good advice.
The wonder we felt as children is usually replaced by logic at an older age, and I’m not at all sure it’s supposed to be. Maybe it’s illogical, but I think wonder is underrated. I recall several misconceptions I had when I was only a child, and now that I understand the inner workings a bit better, that wonder is gone. I don’t pretend to understand the awesome presence of God, or whatever you may call the energy in everything we are and feel and touch, and I think because of that lack of understanding, I’m still in awe of it. I feel sorry for anyone who cannot feel some of this at an older age.
Change is constant. Oh, my, what a self-contradictory sentence! Thanks so much for your visit this morning.
This resonates within.
The ultimate goal/aim, up until my last breath…let me change, transform…why else?
I’ve felt a lot of change lately.
I have to agree
