Everything flows and nothing stays
Everything flows and nothing abides
Everything gives way and nothing stays fixed
Everything flows; nothing remains
All is flux, nothing is stationary
All is flux, nothing stays still
All flows, nothing stays still
~ Heraclitus, c. 535 BC-475 BC

This quote is often paraphrased as “You can never step in the same river twice.”

This piece by Entirety captures this longing for something that once was and what can never be again. As she so eloquently states, perhaps it’s the journey. A lesson that we all should heed.

Well done my friend. Enjoy your journey.

Entirety in Bits and Pieces

Time is a slippery son of a bitch

Try to grasp it
And it denies you the edge
To let you hold on
Reminding you
There are no assurances
In life
About what’s to come next
Each day
Each minute slips by
Whether you want it to or not
It pangs me to know
I can never go back
To the mountain top
On Isle of Skye
To that moment
Where an entire world of emotions
Felt like it was in the depth
Of my chest
Clawing out in a raw guttural cry
To release it to the craggy cliffs
To the sea in the distance
To the grey Scottish sky
Even knowing then
At that moment
That it was fleeting fast
My respite
On the mountain from several months
If not years ahead of valleys
The soul knows I think
It’s why it aches
Not just for its longing…
