Moving - very very moving

Our lives are so unsettled at the moment.  Amidst the tanked economy, everyone is moving, living afar, taking new jobs, having new babies, meeting new challenges and this concerned me, until I realized that perhaps human lives aren't meant to be "settled."  Maybe settled doesn't mean calm, controlled, secure and happy.  Maybe settled really means complacent, habitual, rote, ordinary.  Perhaps the positive definition of "settled" is an interior state of being and mind.  Settled: capable, decisive, flexible.  Change has become commonplace and welcome.
