eminent change
"the only constant is change"
i think heraclitus said it.
he also said this:
"you cannot step twice into the same river; for other waters are ever flowing on to you."
i cross the bridge above often; for placement-related purposes, to my second favourite coffee shop, to go swimming, to visit some of my favourite neighbourhoods.
i am also metaphorically crossing this bridge daily, from one point of change to another, as new ways of being forcibly present themselves to me. many of the very recent changes that have been presented to me i am having trouble seeing as positive, and am finding it easy to mourn about loss in a very self-centred, inward-looking way. a close friend moving away. a forced step into taking more leadership&responsibility with inter-varsity. loss of immediate proximity of a mentor. loss of a favourite professor.
change for all parties involved. change is never done in isolation. or affecting just one person.
i would like wrap up the loose strings of this post, so it could be cohesive, but am unsure if i can.
i know in my heart there is another constant besides change; that's the creator, jesus, spirit.. .
i know in my heart if i spend more time in reflection i can move away from my selfishness around change.. .
i know in my heart my time in university has been all about change, and i always survive.. .
i know in my heart there are some things about me that do remain, like love, and hope, and faith.. .
