Recognizing that things do change
most of us try hard to be ready for whatever comes next.
Planning for what might be around the next corner is a good idea.
Trouble is, no plan can perfectly predict what is actually going to happen.
Starting about now, you're going to be hit with some real surprises. The
"brand new" and the "unexpected" are going to come at you fast and
furiously. You're going to find yourself in places and situations that are
totally unexpected and that no experience you've had so far
seems to have equipped you to deal with.
Don** osanicl
The good news is that you're about to find out that the attitudes
and beliefs and convictions you've been developing all along are really
sail you neocfl to deal with any strange new encounter.
The trick is to realize that your values and abilities don't have to change
when the situation changes and that every little piece of your past
is a powerful tool for the future, as long as you don't let panic or your fears
and emotions get the best of you.

a bunch of quiche-eating kids at Camp Adventure in Sibbald Flats
■^^^^ r just outside of Calgary. Sixty teenage leaders of the Boys
and Cirls Clubs around Alberta were hugging trees and
pretending to be cameras while mastering wilderness games
and learning songs to bring back home to civilization. The food was
great, the vocals were terrible and the instructors were aglow in neon.
