Agents Of Change

We are all agents of change. We influence people and things close to home as well as far beyond our vision and understanding. Sometimes our words and actions move out like ripples for the apparent life and health of our world. At other times, we as individuals affect life around us in a negative way and we are instrumental in causing trouble for our world and its inhabitants. What is important is that we become more aware of the implications of what we say and do so that we can be life-givers rather than destroyers. Understanding how we change and what an awesome influence we have on our environment or world can help us to have more happy and fruitful lives.

It would be wonderful if every one of us could look at change as a "friend". Sadly, many of us seem to be threatened by a lot of change. We resist it and feel threatened by it, even if it seems to be in our own best interests. Of course, there is some change that may appear to be harmful to us personally. If we are wise and skillful however, we can often even use apparent negative changes to enhance our lives. The beauty of change is that we can usually adapt it and use it for more healthy living.

It's my hope that in this blog I might be a bit instrumental in looking at change in our world -- change that has continued to happen ever so slowly almost forever -- how it is happening, where it is taking us and what we can do about it -- and forge a "change connection" with all of you change agents out there. Wouldn't it be healthy, wonderful and exciting if we could help one another better understand the root causes of change as well as get a feel as to how to proceed toward renewal and refreshment for "spaceship earth"!?

As I begin, I have a lot of development of this blog to work on... and I hope you feel free to contribute and make suggestions. Thanks for any healthy or beneficial change connections!
