Change

Change.

It's a strange, strange word, a mystical expression, something that can be taken many ways.

Some people, when hearing of change, immediately invent a magical world ruled by change.

Some people begin designing weapons inspired by change.

Some people write about changes in life that affect people, for better or for worse.

Others write about things they wish would change, how they wish they could change, how they were changed by change.

We are wounded by change, bent by change, twisted, warped, torn by change.

But we are also healed by change, created by change, benefited by change, inspired by change.

Change is what gives us life.

Change is what gives us death.

Change is what gives us inspiration - what fuels us as writers.
