Change.

The more things change, the more they remain the same. Life is cyclical; eventually what has come before will come again, good or bad. The Cosmos is cyclical as is this world/Earth is also cyclical. Look at the phases of the moon, the orbits of the planets. Like the old adage says… “What goes around comes around.”

In the Temperate Zone, where we live (HA Temperate?) we have a wonderful display to remind us of that change. In our part of the world as winter approaches the colorful flower displays fade, but the trees treat us to a riot of color.

                            
No matter what path we take, we are confronted by the variegated colors of the fall leaves, even if they lay on the ground.

Even through these changes, we can still see the greenery that will last all year, especiaoly if you lay on your side..

 

 

Foliage notwithstanding, many things change, and many things are cyclical. History shows us how cyclical life actually is. War is a terrible thing. No one really wants to fight or die in a war, do they? The carnage is an outrage, everyone says so but….. there has never been a time in recorded history where there has not been a war, of some kind. Little wars abound, and we have big ones at least once a century, even though we abhor them. Interesting… the more things change; the more they remain the same. The same thing happens with educational philosophies; they come and go, and come back again as the pendulum swings.
