Evolving

 If Creation is evolving, then why are we, part of this evolving creation, trying so hard to keep things the same?  Why are we holding on to keep things the same?  Some monasteries become extinct.  They would not or could not change.  And yet, they were founded on change.  They came into existence to change something that would not change to their liking.  A monastery can cease to be what it is but need not go extinct.  Instead, it can evolve into something that takes a core value and expands it.  A ranch can remain basically a ranch with all its beauty but move into modern equipment and modern methods of ranching.  A monastery can maintain silence and solitude in some reserved section, but then in other parts of the property have music, art, conferences, speakers for the curious public.  Same buildings but different insides.  Recovery programs are not fossilized.  They evolve over time.  The extinct would not or could not change.
