In a book by Jack Hawley called "Reawakening The Spirit In Work" there is a chapter on Bending Time which relates to instantaneousness of transformation. He has two very powerful stories in there about organizations that are struggling mightily with serious issues. They are in 'hell', so to speak. The dark night of the soul. One is hospice, the other US Forest Service where people are dying every year fighting forest fires. It seems to me these relate to the pain you were writing about. The change is quite stunning. The Forest Service one I can never read without weeping because that is one of my life experiences. At any rate, I commend them to you and to anyone else who wishes to see transformation happen 'in an instant'. Pgs. 106-114.<BR>

Thank you for your sharing.<BR>

Warmly,<BR>
