A new sunset


"Heracleitus says, you know, that all things move and nothing remains still, and he likens the universe to the current of a river, saying that you cannot step twice into the same stream." 

-Plato, Cratylus 402a as translated by Harold N. Fowler

Every day that I walk the beach in China Poot Bay, it is a new beach. New life has floated in on the tide and detritus has washed out. Every time I walk the trails, new tracks have been made in the snow. These days, I'm keeping an eye out for the first signs of bear.

Every sunset in every place is a unique event. It is the first and last time that sunset will ever be seen. Although I have already posted pictures of the sunset in China Poot Bay, I have never seen the sun play through the clouds in quite the way it did yesterday.
