I love it when suh quotes have external validity and can be applied more broadly than intended. Fundamental truths have a tendency to work like that:).
And it's certainly true that change often requires a disaster in order to happen. Never let go of a good crisis as they say.
I agree with what you say about 'fundamental truths'. In art, the personal is universal. First I hear of that saying: Never let go of a good crisis. Unlikely, to forget it anytime, soon... Good to have you back, active, on Hive and wishing you a rewarding week ahead :)
