Dealing with Change

Recently I've thought a lot about change: in my life, in my friends' lives, in our country, and in our world. Change is sometimes like the bend in a river, where a person on a raft must be able to navigate around the turn. You see that change coming and you make adjustments as needed. Sometimes change crashes on you like a wave, threatening to pull you off your feet and disorient you. Change can also knock you flat, groveling for a sense of some meaning in a seemingly uncaring world. Change can also lift you up and make you feel on top of the world.

I've dealt with a lot of change in my life, some of it good and some of it not worth repeating. I'll try to share some of these thoughts over the next few days and weeks.
