"Right"

"What she had begun to learn was the weight of liberty. Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward towards the light; but the laden traveler may never reach the end of it."
Ursula K. Le Guin                The Tombs of Atuan                1971

Change occurs even as we seek it. The memory of what we had, what we were, what was and is and always will be, lures us back in increments. The 'change' may appear as illusion or dream.
But it happened.
Happens.
Is.
