Considering Some Change

Change is one of those critters I’ve blogged about before. Do you all think there is only so much we can possibly take on and after that the world begins to fade into shades of less remarkable choices? I remember the movie “Into the Wild” at one point when Christian was going to call home. One part of me wished he would and I silently urged him to. Perhaps if he would have given into that choice, the other things would not have happened that did. Its a map readers. If you see a place with routes stretching out and you take one of them, I think there are downstream paths you simply cannot observe. You may not like what they are, what they do to and for you. But, you have spent the token and ridden the ride to that point.

Change is. But the real thing here is that we tack change into time and space. But neither of them truly exist I am sure. Time is just a fabrication we invented to explain something away that we could not manage. Space is too vast for our puny minds to grok. We simply cannot grasp the entity and what it truly is. I would ask if you destroy and negate time; does space yet exist?

How it comes down to the individual layer is this. I’ve been offered a new job. It takes me to a few places I’m interested in. I truly love where I work though. I’m torn and its hard to see that the forest and the trees are the same. Work is. Unless you win the lotto. But I think that even then you are not of the higher order. My plan is to move forward because change is. We cannot resist change no matter how much we propel ourselves the other way. For as the sly anthropologist once told me,

“there is nothing so constant as change…”

Embrace it or be its victim.
