I have come to recognize evolution not only as an active process that I am experiencing at the time, but as something I can guide by the choices I make.

This is what evolution means--ordered progress; development from poorer to richer, from lower to higher, from less to greater--progress. In the material universe, progress to higher forms; in the moral universe, progress to higher life.
