Let’s start with the question: ‘How many times has life changed for you?’ If you are like a lot of people, the answer to that question is often. However, the ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus would say that life changes constantly. In fact, not only does life change constantly, the whole universe changes from the highest realms of the universe to the most intimate parts of our thoughts. We are constantly and ever changing, and in fact, that change is what life is all about. His disciples were fond of saying ‘you cannot step into the same river twice.’ It's an interesting thought, but if we are honest change actually causes us much concern and we don't like it. Transitions are not good. So we come today with this great thought: is there a way that we can take on the idea of change or call it transitions, and embrace them for what they teach? Our dialogue partner today, Nick Burge, and I talk about this very idea. As he and I discuss this topic, we touch upon what it feels like to be in transition constantly, and question if there is anything that remains constant. We also talk about some principles of philosophical and spiritual interest. It's a great time to be alive and it's a great time to be here today. No matter what you are going through, this dialogue is for you. It will inspire you, it will educate and transform, and that's a wonderful thing. As always, make it beautiful.
