changing and leaving

i love this quote from the author's note in donald miller's book through pained deserts

"It might be time for you to go. It might be time to change, to shine out.
I want to repeat one word for you:
Leave.
Roll the word around on your tongue for a bit. It is a beautiful word, isn't it? So strong and forceful, the way you have always wanted to be. And you will not be alone. You have never been alone. Don't worry. Everything will still be here when you get back. It is you who will have changed."

i believe that we as people change through conflict and that conflict does not happen if we stay in the same place.
and i think our culture puts much too high a premium on a sense of security that is not all that secure in the first place.
