"Every moment the world and we are renewed Yet we are ignorant of this renewing for ever and aye. Life like a stream of water is renewed and renewed Though it wears the appearance of continuity in form, That seeming continuity arises from its swift renewal As when a single spark of fire is whirled round swiftly."
Rumi

January 1, 1970
