Start with the observation

Nothing living holds one form for long. Cells change, seasons turn, generations arrive, and familiar faces pass out of view.

Follow the reasoning

  1. Constant change is not disorder when every arrival and departure occurs inside recognizable measures.
  2. A guest is understood differently from an owner. Temporary presence may be purposeful without being permanent.
  3. The procession asks us to look not only at what passes, but at the power that continually brings new forms into view.

A passage to hold beside it

“Where do they come from? Where are they going? Why do they come here, stay only briefly, and depart?” 1

Read plainly

The world resembles a place of exhibition and passage more than a warehouse of permanent possessions.

Try observing this

Watch one ordinary process of change—a cloud, a meal, a child, a leaf—and notice how much ordered work is hidden inside its passing.
