THE FACE OF CHANGE

September 7, 2014 by

0

It came and it went.  I gazed upon the inevitability with the broken heart of a lover.  I begged, I wept, I tried to halt the course and drag out the homeostasis.  Change is hard for everyone.  The complacency of the status quo has a familiar draw, as if I bonded with where I was […]
