Human life is inextricably entwined with growth and change.  Change is usually slow, merely one of the thousand pages of a story.  But sometimes, through a singularly momentous decision or event, the change is so great as to cause a transformation into something altogether different.  And one time, one time for every life, there will be a final change, a definitive transformation from which there will be no return.  Do not fear.  That is The Becoming.
