John Cage said that
fear in life is the fear of change. If I may add to that: nothing can avoid changing. It’s the only thing you can
count on. Because life doesn’t have any other possibility, everyone can be measured by his adaptability to
change.” – Robert Rauschenberg

Years ago I realized that I was spending a lot of time trying to find people, and things in life that were certain. I have learned that all I can do is look forward to change. Looking back I can see that I wasted so much time hoping things would not change.

Earl and I would often talk about how short life is. Don’t waste time, and if you are going to put your life on hold for someone don’t do it out of fear.
