on change

Upon a heated dinner table discussion on how to change a status quo.

Some argue passionately that change only comes through Revolution—through drastic measures, through “absolute demolition.”

I call them the Mina Loy team.

Others argue — just as passionately — that change is gradual; that “small people, in small places, doing small things, can change the world.”

That big change is the sum of many small parts.

I call them the Eduardo Galeano team.

I struggle to choose a side.
