Hi amd - It is indeed a fabulous way to start the new year. In fact I'm so excited I've started doing some reading, I suspect you are all going to be sharing more than a little of my journey in philosophy too
Turns out that Greek philosophy is an important basis for how we view the world, and one of the lesser known dudes is Heraclitus. One saying that he is commonly associated with is "You can never step into the same river twice" which was apparently originally written as:
The river where you set your foot just now is gone- those waters giving way to this, now this.
Now, I wonder how many of us try to step on the same water again, with our relationships?
