Change the Sea of Bee, or Something Like That

The speaker said, “See the change you want to be.” I thought he had mangled the quote from Gandhi,

‘Be the change you want to see in the world.’

He explained, “I heard what Gandhi said, thought about it, and realized I didn’t know what I wanted to change.  I just didn’t want things to be the same. I had to look at things a little different before I saw it.

“I saw myself as a social drinker, who drank alone, which isn’t very social. I had to see how social drinkers were different.  Made me realize I wasn’t one of them.

“I thought non-drinkers had no fun. Until I saw them having lots of fun. I wanted to be one of them, so maybe other people like me could see life doesn’t end when the drinking does.

“I’ve seen the change I want to be. I want the world to have more sober, happy, fools. That’s what I’ve become, and I’m proud of it.”

Today I will see the change I want to become.
