"Our life is never static. We are never standing still, but always moving within the patterns of life that surround us..."

"We are people of a pattern. In fact, of many patterns. Even a casual observation of creation reveals how many patterns shape the process of life. Seasons and migrations are a pattern. Evolution is one too. So is birth, growth, death, and transformation. Our life is never static. We are never standing still, but always moving within the patterns of life that surround us. We are part of them. They are us. Therefore, change is the air we breathe. It may help us to remember this the next time we feel stuck or immobilized. It may remind us that we have wings."
