Yes- but we still laud scale, even as it creates sclerotic organisations. There is an inevitability to cycles, but because they are inconvenient, we tend to ignore them...
Just yesterday I was in a process painting class where I found myself creating -quite vigorously in finger painting- a self portrait that held the message that the most powerful way for me to live now is as an ever-flowing response. To be able to let go of my thinking and judging enough to allow the natural flow of response to light, sound, touch, smell, taste. To trust that response would be quite a different world.

"Change is bad. We fear change,"
The orgs cry out loudly
"We like things the way they are."
"We are strong."
Unable to adapt, they die out
like the dodo bird or the Wampus.
In their place grow the adaptable,
The bendable, those most like bamboo
or new trees, which flex and don't fight the wind.
