Heraclitus

"You can't step twice into the same river". This is the perfect reminder that nothing remains the same. You are at the river with loved ones and playing in the water. Swimming upstream and walking on the shore are the way that you are sharing in the beauty of creation. As you swim, you pass a leaf floating downstream. Then you float downstream. As you start your way back up to jump off a rock, you see that leaf is gone. This is not the same river you were just floating down because that leaf is a new one and it is from a different tree. The ebb and flow of life becomes very clear. That frog is new and that Hawk just landed in a tree. Tomorrow the river will be different and it is going to be a great day.
