Change

One of the greatest truths, "all is change," was stated by the early Greek philopher, Heraclitus. His analogy was that it is impossible to step into the same stream twice.

This is absolutely true. No moment ever repeats itself. Not only are no two moments ever the same, no two people, no two events, no two anything are ever the same.

Everything that happens in life happens only once. One of the best ways to realize this is to lie on your back and watch the clouds go by. Such an infinite variety is awesomee.

We are living in the midst of a gigaantic explosion which, measured by our determination of time has been going on for something like 14.5 billion years, but which in cosmological time may be closer to 14.5 minutes.
