constancy/stability

I appreciate having the word "constancy" to carry out of the discussion yesterday (thank you, Liz) and am curious about what it opens up that the term "stability" limits by contrast.  To me, the idea that what people need to grow is more constancy than stability makes more room for change, but maintains and affirms the importance of attachment.  So, the form attachment takes or prompts varies, but the constancy of caring and of life force itself persists?  I also wonder about the usefulness here of the association of stability with space and constancy with time.
