Watching the Swimmer

Aristotle claims 3 different types of change:

Locomotion- change in position
Growth- change in quantity
Alteration- change in quality


When we desire changes in our lives, what do we expect it to be like when the change occurs? and how do we expect that we will be different in the occurance of an external change?

Is there any health in intelligence above the energy of the blind groping worm?

How can this great love be inside me?

but they see enormous things.

Lord, I believe; help my unbelief
Mark 9:24

Sweet are the use of adversity;
which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,
wears yet a precious jewel in his head
And this our life exempt from public haunt
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones and good in everything.
-Shakespeare
