You Change.
All that you Change
Changes you.
The only lasting truth
is Change.
God
Is Change
from Octavia Butler's Parable of the Talents
What do I hope to accomplish with this blog? I would like to encourage a dialogue that enables people to communicate through the "stuff" of their life. What books do you read? What music do you plug into? In the past, was it the same? Are you in a state of stasis? I think most would find that their tastes and interests have evolved over the years. My thesis is that if we consider how we spend our time, we come to understand how we have evolved. Have you ever kept a journal? Then, years later you stumble upon it and realize that you can't completely identify with that person any longer, but the change was so incremental, you didn't even realize it was occurring. For me, it is the books I choose to read, the music I choose to soothe or excite me, and yes, the websites I choose to lurk around in that best reflect my interests and concerns as they now stand. It is culture, both with a capital "C" and a small "c". And so I invite you to blog with me about the ideas we come across, the thoughts that entertain us, the portals we enter when we are alone or with those close to us. Hopefully, a fruitful dialogue will emerge as we get to know one another.
