In an irregular configuration.
Rapid changes: complex, turbulent, unpredictable.
It’s like moving into uncharted water; this is how I feel.
Transformation brings melancholy,
Conservation requires changes,
Action calls for reaction,
Reflux into flow,
Trial generates error,
Change brings uncertainty.
Can anything be changed without being confronted? Or at least taken into consideration.
I see it, as a convincing signal that the danger has passed.
A shift far from being peripheral brings with it a deep vulnerability.
Whenever I am looking for a reference point; all is confirmed and then questioned again.
Loss of preexisting habitat during progressive shifts of conditions.
Adaptation - Migration - Migration - Adaptation
A different environment can profoundly change your personality.
Many things make sense only in a given surrounding and can barely exist in other circumstances;
Eventually in different context you wonder how those things could have been possible.
How difficult it is to adapt sometimes.
Change and uncertainty are conditions occurring again and again.
Maintaining an equilibrium is not easy, but why should I be pessimistic? I don’t know enough.
Tendency to preserve
Ability to improve
Developing a sustainable condition doesn’t generate short-term gains. It requires a continuous redefinition.
