The Transitionist: QUOTE FOR THE DAY

You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.

Maya Angelou

CHANGE

"I think my most significant personal revelation is that life changes hour by hour and minute by minute, like the constant flowing of a river. I am not quite the same person today that I was yesterday: small aspects of me have changed physically and mentally. I will change a little more by tomorrow, and a great deal more in the course of the future years.

To try to hang on to one particular section of life, such as the one I am experiencing in this moment, is foolish; it can't be done, and if it could be done, it would not be worthwhile. Change is much of the essence of life. Death is the final change. We can not hold on even to a day; how, then, can we capture life itself? Perhaps our whole awareness of individuality, of self, is an illusion. If so, it is better not to grasp unduly at that illusion, but rather to live our lives in such a manner that when we must at last lay them down, we will not be ashamed. Life has meaning only if we live for meaning."

Piers Anthony, May 17, 1982
