Change = Anything Can Happen Next! is a meditation upon the nature of change. Change is everywhere and always. It is the ceaseless motion of things continually being transforming into other things.
Understanding that change will eventually result in the undoing of everything we know and love, people are naturally unwilling to embrace it. Change can be terrifying and our unwillingness to accept it inspires an existential dilemma that each of us must confront. This dilemma is viewed by some as the basis of all suffering. Change = Anything Can Happen Next! is an original, accordion style manuscript. This illustrated book features many examples of Change Notation, a method similar to Music Notation, which was invented by the author to diagram all types of change that a thing may be observed to undergo.
