Change-- whether positive or negative—is destabilizing. Change forces movement from one state of being to another, one form to another. Often, neither the new state nor the new form is clearly felt or exactly formed. Change requires moving from the familiar to the unfamiliar, from a taken-for-granted position, the status quo, to another that requires adjustments. For most of us, facing change frightens us so we resist, at least initially. At the same time, however, we embrace the challenge, knowing deep down inside that the transformation will bring forth new life. Moreover, even during times of the greatest of changes, some things remain unchanged. We live with the paradox.
