The Contradiction of the Waterfall

"I was mesmerized, as I always am, by the contradiction of a [waterfall]: an always-moving flow whose shape is ever-constant. A thing at once speeding and still."
​~Jason Mark, Satellites in the High Country

A thing at once speeding and still. Eaton Canyon Waterfall, San Gabriel Mountains.

In nature as in life, we often appear static. At any given moment our jobs, our friends, our finances, our homes, our entire existence can seem to others, and feel to us, as immovable. But that's never really the case--underneath the shell we are a roaring rapid of constant change. Every friendly conversation, every new idea gleaned, every experienced moment, an opportunity for growth.

In nature as in life, nothing and no one is as simple as they seem... thankfully, because it would be pretty boring otherwise. ​
