'Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.' Marcus Aurelius
'We have an unknown distance yet to run, an unknown river to explore. What falls there are, we know not; what rocks beset the channel, we know not; what walls ride over the river, we know not. Ah, well! we may conjecture many things.'
John Wesley Powell
Profound thoughts as we move into the New Year...
Profound thoughts, and to compare time to a river is very apt. Your photos match those thoughts perfectly.
ReplyDeleteA very happy New Year to you, Jenny.
You remind me of a book I used to have, "Don't push the river" and I take from it the phrase that one can't step into the same river again...it has gone by already. Loved your sepia toned river scenes.
ReplyDeleteVery suitable quotes and images for moving into the New Year.
ReplyDelete"An unknown distance yet to run", indeed...
Lovely!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, but the first really spoke to me. Happy New Year, Andree!
