One of the most fascinating AND disturbing features of these changing times is... the creeping increments of tiny footsteps of change. It reminds me of how people walk in circles when they are lost in the woods. I've heard it said it's because one leg is shorter than the other. I wonder how that can be the case when obstructions constantly appear to shift a person's direction? I shouldn't even be talking about it. Maybe I should have looked online first, to see what the experts say. Maybe, I should have checked to see if the circling is mostly to the left or to the right. The only thing I REALLY think about is; who wrote The Book of Love?

Back to those tiny, incremental footsteps of change. We do not see how it is that we can get from one place to another. They bear no resemblance; where you started and where you wound up. How did it all go so wrong? How did so many lives crumble into ruin from that point of greater possibilities? What went wrong? What went wrong?? What went wrong!?!

You see this happen in individual lives. You see it happen to groups of people. You see it happen to cities, to states, to nations. Slowly and inexorably. There is some kind of bio-rhythm to it. Civilizations rise... and fall. Family fortunes disappear after the 3rd generation. People rise to the fulsomeness of their vitality and then... fade away into decrepitude, through The Seven Ages of Man.
