imagination

While the word "change" normally refers to new beginnings,
real transformation happens more often when something falls apart.
The pain of something old cracking apart or unraveling invites us
to evolve instead of tightening our controls + certitudes.

We can acknowledge the unraveling, breaking + cracking as a bearer of truth
​+ even as a gift.
It might be nudging + calling us to embrace a new imagination.
We may emerge less arrogant + presumptuous.
We may have fewer illusions about our power + centrality.
We may become more curious.
​We may become less willing to ally with the empires + powers that have long defined.
