Circle of Life

Our lives and the world we live them in change everyday. Some of these changes happen so fast we hardly notice them until they have crept right up on us and suddenly, when we take a moment to look around, we find theses changes sitting, centre stage, in our lives.
There are other changes that manifest at a much slower pace; so slowly, in fact, that most people do not see the primary differences, let alone the complete transformation they bring during the average, four score and ten, lifetime. These lumbering changes, more often than not, have nothing to do with biological or physical evolution, the affect of weather, soil erosion or glacial melt; they are simply trapped in tradition.
The dictionary definitely holds clues as to why, that which is held in this seemingly impermeable membrane, sheds all attempts to alter its form the way a good macintosh wicks away a deluge.
Understandably then, anything connected to ‚”historical convention‚” would take time and more than a little courage to transform but recently individuals, couples and entire families are challenging customs that have stood for centuries and are enjoying, not only the process of transforming them but more importantly, the outcome!
