Between Growth and Fixed
A shorter blog this week instead of a podcast episode because it is a long weekend and I have family support responsibilities. I was at a meeting yesterday where one of the questions that was asked was "how have your values changed over time?" And this kind of question always gives me pause because I feel that somehow I have been innately the same human morally and values wise since I was old enough to know what morals and values are (and the difference between the two). But I know that somehow I must have changed in some way, but it is either too small a way to notice or somewhere in the historical registers of my mind that have been taken over by the ability to remember every song lyrics from the 1990s. The things that I believe in are pretty fixed and it is that fixity guides my commitment to the work that I do both in my job and in the different types of community work that I do. But there is also space for growth in that work, and necessarily needs to be space for growth...
