title: Touching what is, touching what might be.
abstract: How do you master change? You have to master the paradox of changing while staying grounded. To make use of the power living inside any new thing that comes your way, you first have to touch it--not tentatively but profoundly--at the same time that you maintain a firm connection with that which is deepest and most fundamental within you. Here, some ideas on how to create "touch points," the ability to look at a problem or impending change from many different angles, thus broadening your understanding and possible response. A key tactic in creating a variety of touch points is quite simple: Ask a lot of questions. Ask especially the questions that have difficult answers, or for which you suspect there is no answer.
