god is change

on fractals, accountability, and transformation

Two fiddlehead ferns facing each other, forming a heart.

Dear Beloved,

In times such as these, we need to change. The good news: Change is life’s singular constant, and it’s happening anyway. The bad: Change’s unpredictability frightens. It takes the good at times, it breaks down illusions of certainty. Change will break your heart.

But change is life. It is growth and degrowth. It is non-linear progress. In its most beautiful and necessary forms, change is transformation. And we must alchemize our lives, society, our communities, each other.

But first, we must transform ourselves.

“So, transform yourself first… Because you are young and have dreams and want to do something meaningful, that in itself, makes you our future and our hope. Keep expanding your horizon, decolonize your mind, and cross borders.” ― Yuri Kochiyama
