Change is every minute, every hour, every day and every season.
A butterfly flaps his wings in—my daughter spins the globe. “Now you have a place to put it Mama.” I start over. A butterfly flaps his wings in Bulgen, Mongolia—where my finger landed—starting the wind that brings change—our first snow, so briefly here and now gone. It marked a change in our thinking. From fall to winter. The kids dragged out their boots and snow-pants and spent the morning changing the pristine landscape to one crisscrossed with trails. We head to town. They have haircuts today, and come home changed from how they left.
It has been a week of change. Both locally and globally. A season of change—the adventure is seeing what will happen next.
Writing on my computer, I hit spell check before posting this. Oh! A spelling error. I hit the change button.

The butterfly-wing 'thing' is fascinating. And 'the fork in the road' is equally compelling. What if ......
Love your exploration of the minute changes we may so easily overlook!
I love the imagery...beautiful piece of writing.
What a great ending. I loved it.
I love the part about your daughter finding your "mot juste" (sorry, I couldn't resist ;)). It's also interesting to see the various types of change: large scale vs. small scale. And I'm with Lilibeth--that ending is extremely fitting.
this puts me in mind of that movie the butterfly effect... what an amazing concept...
This is a delightful compilation of changes! Change is an inevitable part of life. That's what makes life interesting. What will happen next?
Lots of changes. Unfortunately, I hit that change button on spell check more than I care to admit! BJ
it's the small changes in life that make the big ones happen. Did I really say that? How profound!
I like the bit about butterfly wings too. Makes me think about the way little things turn into big things. Thanks for visiting my new blog.
Seeing what's going to happen next really is part of the adventure!
This is miniature eclectic with the right mix of divine-to-ponder ingredients. Truth that we know but sets us back a pace on hearing it, that change is every minute… Being there for the young ones, a little globe spinning and the butterfly flaps his wings every hour, everywhere… Even the expected snowfall surprises with change every season… Very, very nice :-)
lol, great example of change!
loved the intertwining stories and the soft humor here. :-)
And so the only constant is change.
