there's a change a'coming...

change comes like the splitting of wood
like the plow blade turns the soil on the ground
and the change comes like it should
you gotta die before you live
something’s gotta give for you to find
what comes after {sandra mccraken, "traincar"}


Oh, sweet change, are we ever really ready for you? It is the one thing we can't run from. Even when you try devilishly hard to stay in the same house, in the same city, with the same job, and same friends... change finds you. Some seek it; some run from it; but we all stumble upon it. Sometimes you want to embrace it, sometimes you want to spit on it. Ah, bittersweet change.

I got a text message from my friend Josh yesterday, expressing the bittersweetness of our move to Memphis, leaving behind the other ordinary radicals, otherwise known as our circle of friends, who keep us alive with stories of Kolkata (Calcutta) and Rio; old, dying men and spirit-filled children; dirty streets and loud favellas. They won't be sitting in our living room at the drop of a hat, but they will race on in our hearts.

What new stories will we find? What new questions will we raise? What new theologies will we grasp? And what will our journey look like two months from now?

you gotta die before you live
something's gotta give for you to find
what comes after


the beauty and the mess of what comes after

Was thinking this would be a perfect way to introduce myself!
We believe the only way acquire wealth it is usually a good plan to begin a savings or investing course of action as early in life as imaginable. But don't worry if you have not started saving your assets until later on in life. With honest work, that is exploring the best investment vehicles for your money you can slowly but surely increase your funds so that it adds up to a sizable amount by the period you hope to retire. Watch all of the achievable asset classes from stocks to real estate as investments for your money. A well diversified portfolio of investments in a wide range of asset classes can make your money build throughout the years.
