Without accepting the fact that everything changes, we cannot find perfect composure. But unfortunately, although it is true, it is difficult for us to accept it. Because we cannot accept the truth of transience, we suffer.
~Shunryu Suzuki
As quoted by Zen Habits.
Thinking about this in the context of change in libraries and resistance to change.

hmm. I like this one.
Thanks for your post. I love that quote! It profoundly points to the contradiction that is at the heart of the human experience of time. It spurred me to write a post of my own on change, as I read yours just as had been thinking about this very subject in relation to library work.
