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 said that

I really like the bald cypress trees growing in the water. (or what ever they are. ) Yes, time is a river that flows by too fast.

Beautiful verdant tones and textures. Amazing how these trees are able to survive in the water! Or was this an unexpected flooding event?

This is beautiful. There is something wonderful how these trees sit quietly with the water around them and they manage to survive. The quote is so true and it was said so long ago.

What a lovely image Sherri. Going by the quote I’m assuming this may well be a result of some flooding again.
He had a great way of getting the point across that time certainly does go by far too fast.

Cypress trees make wonderful subjects. I like the crossed logs you have included in the corner as a starting point for the viewer. Time as a river is a popular analogy, but today’s physicists endow it with much more complexity.
