Whoever penned the phrase “There is nothing as constant as change” expressed a truth that never fades. It is equally as true that wherever we notice change we try to determine our place within it. We look for the circumstances that involve us. We look for the commonalities of people we know, places that we are familiar with, and things that seem to comfort us as change whirls around us. What sometimes gets overlooked are the areas in which change occurs and which we share with others on the planet. While diversity of people surround us, we are all joined by elements that are common to everyone. We have all grown up with a family in a home that held traditions and rites of passage. We sometimes find ourselves looking for the extraordinary in ordinary settings. If we are not looking at how to strengthen our connections with others, we sometimes want to know how to manage the delicate connections we have with friends and family and in all of it is the sometimes tremendous effort to find the balance in everyday living.
