Need a Change?

Ever have that moment where you read something and then sit back and go "wow"? You set the book down and just ponder the meaning of what you just read?  Buried deep within a detailed and somewhat political autobiography by Grace Lee Boggs, I had one of these moments.  The moment didn't simply stop with reading her autobiography Living For Change, rather it continued as the various member of the seminar class discussed their views on the text.  

Have you ever pondered what the words "living for change" mean?  If you haven't, it's definitely something to ponder.  Grace Lee Boggs was an Asian American women who was deeply invested in the civil rights movement with her husband Jimmy Boggs.  In her autobiography she mixes philosophy with living life and leaves examples of movements, revolutions and rebellions.  She is someone who is comfortable with change, and in many ways she expects it.  She knows that movements come and go and she uses her skills to spread the written word of their work through pamphlets and papers and publications. She wants to make change happen. 

How do you make change happen? How can you live to learn and change peoples lives?  These questions are a lot bigger than they seem...and there is not an easy answer. 
As the "wow" moment has passed...just keep thinking change (and not the loose kind under the couch).
