A change...

By Vichara

If there is acknowledgment within yourself with a desire for change, you are half way there. If your awareness of the world around is heightened, the seed has been planted. If you find yourself talking about social and moral values, the shift has already happened. Sooner or later and hopefully sooner awareness arises inside you and creates the catalyst for change and moves your dialogue from internal to external. From this point you will be drawn to other voices that will encourage your steps and like kindred souls finally meeting, will set down the demarcation point for change. Not only for you but the world around you. But please remember this, be kind to yourself and move forward with patience, love and compassion.

Did you know?
The story of "holus-bolus" is not a hard one to swallow. "Holus-bolus" originated in English dialect in the mid-19th century and is believed to be a waggish reduplication of the word "bolus." "Bolus" is from the Greek word "bolos," meaning "lump," and has retained that Greek meaning. In English, "bolus" has additionally come to mean "a large pill," "a mass of chewed food," or "a dose of a drug given intravenously." Considering this "lumpish" history, it's not hard to see how "holus-bolus," a word meaning "all at once" or "all in a lump," came about.
