“If we want things to stay as they are, things will have to change." - Guiseppe Tomasi de Lampedusa
Now, you may ask: why on earth would you want things to stay the same?
Well, short answer: I don’t. What I take from the above is that - for me - the sign of a healthy system is one which embodies an open stance to change, whilst still understanding the fundamental components which make it a continuous entity.
OK, now you may ask: that’s all well and good, but what on earth does that have to do with your ‘now’ page?
Well, dear reader, that is what I intend this blog to be, the rosetta stone which tracks and unlocks access to the many and varied stories of how this system (and all too human system I may add) changes through time yet, no doubt, carries forth the certain subset of characteristics which make this entity whole.
