Hmm...

I should probably break the habit of writing on this blog just every year or so. :)) There are also other bad habits I should lose. 
It's funny how things seem to change the most when you try not to change at all. Yes, I am not a big fan of change. Sometimes it just seems easier to go with the flow. But I can't do that. It would feel like abandoning myself. So I try to keep things the way they are in any given moment. Sadly, this includes my weaknesses, my mistakes, my vices. 
Herakleitos of Ephesus (c. 535-475 BC) once said: change is alone unchanging. He's also the guy that established  the term Logos (λόγος) in Western philosophy as meaning both the source and fundamental order of the Cosmos. I'm guessing he had a very good intuition. Or maybe Someone inspired him to use a word that would have such great meaning, starting 2000 years ago. I guess he had no idea what would come after his death.
I think the key is to change without changing. It's one of the base principles of the Church. It's what God did when he became Man. 
I just have to figure out how this applies to myself. And it ain't gonna be easy.
