I called the blog Revolution, because it means both “a complete change in thinking”, and “ one complete turn around an axis, back to the initial position”(both paraphrased from Merriam Webster.com ). They may sound contradictory, but I subscribe to both “The only thing that stays the same is change”, and “There is nothing new under the sun”. Almost all of the lyrics to "Turn! Turn! Turn!", written in the late 1950's by Pete Seeger are directly from the ancient book of Ecclesiastes. Seeger penned the last line about peace, and the song is usually considered an anti-war song. It was embraced by the folk movement of the 60's, but has since been recorded many times by many artists. I was born around the time this song was first recorded and it is among my favorites. To me it speaks of humanity's constant experience of and need for change - sort of a paradox. 

"Turn! Turn! Turn!"

To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together

To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing

To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late!
