All Things Change? by Thomas Schenk

When we conscientiously set goals, we are engaged in an activity that has its roots in the processes that shaped galaxies from the raw material of the Big Bang and that shaped oak trees from chemical information in the nucleus of a seed. In terms of matter, “we are stardust,” but in terms of our conscious intentions, we are of the very thing that shaped stars out of the primordial nebulae — we are an intentional part of the great process of the World.

They sowed Change, so we must Shape it.
