Shifting Paradigms

 A paradigm is like any window, it allows you to see whatever its frames will permit. Thus, just like a window, a paradigm is a limited and partial view of what's "outside." The bigger the frame, the more one can see. The more windows in a room, the more one can see of that "outside." Thus, paradigms, by analogy, are mental windows to reality. They "frame" our understanding of reality and limit that reality to what they show us. Different paradigms will "show" us a different reality.     - unknown


     I am currently caught up in the merciless throws of a shifting paradigm.  It takes courage to put up new windows within my carefully constructed house in my little corner of the universe.  Here is to hoping that I will find more light, more beauty, and truth without these walls.
