" No matter what is happening, whenever we see the inevitability of change, the ordinary, or even oppressive, facts of our lives can become alive with prospect. "
What do you think?
This is an idea I've run into in several books on spirituality lately. I think it's a fairly uncomfortable idea to a lot of us, especially westerners, the idea our lives aren't really stable. Stability is an illusion.
Change isn't always good, but it is inevitable. Changes can be made the best of, too. While things are in flux it may cause one to despair, because one thing is passing away, making room for another. But that other?
You never know until you give it a try.

Taoist thought in particular seems enamoured of the idea of things constantly changing. On a philosophical level, at least, it's something that I can agree with.
