Τὰ πάντα ῥεῖ καὶ οὐδὲν μένει.
Ta panta rhei kai ouden menei.
"Everything flows, nothing stands still." -Heraclitus
Well...so i came across this quote in my science literature reading the other day... referring to 'Rheology'. Rheology is the study of how things flow - ie: rocks to magma, which directly governs what type of volcanic activity: effusive flow, or explosive bomb!
Anyway, as cheesy as this is, Heraclitus reminds me that literally everything flows. From rock to life to relationships to ourselves...we are in constant change, constant growth, constant becoming. (i won't labor the details of determining variables of flow both in lava and in life...)
Cheesy, yes. True, maybe? Cool, absolutely.
