Now a bigger and more modern bridge is under construction and it saddens me, so I thought about it--always thinking about this impending change--and so I searched for things to explain change--words to comfort me. Those of us who love things the way they are, are wary of the future, the changes to not only our way of life, but the erasing of our ideal past. That's it-this new thing is like an assault on the familiar, on simple living. But no amount of foot stomping or shaking our fist at the sky is going to stop it. The change gods have spoken.
I found some quotes--thought I'd share them--maybe they'll add some comfort or make you think about all this stuff that we can't stop.
