ASCH Advisor November 2024
Volume 1 | Issue 4
From the Desk of the President
At least for those of us in the U.S., the current bends in the river of change that make up our lives bring with them more uncertainty than usual, and at least in my circles, quite a bit of worry. Not knowing how the next several years will turn out is creating fertile ground on which our fears and divisions can grow. Regardless of your feelings about any particular change that has happened or is to come, I think we can all agree that the last several years have felt like quite a rollercoaster ride. Which gets me to my point for this article—paying attention to metaphors.
