Note: I look to nature to teach me about the cycles of change, where the edges of time collide.

A flurry of life explodes in the marshes.  Sea coexists with land, saltwater meets fresh water, and life rebounds from tight cycles of decay and decomposition.   Described as a collision of ecosystems that run into each other, from open oceans to back bays, to creeks, to rivers of grasses, where migrations of waterfowl follow hidden commands to come and go. (See citation below).  And it is here that I honor the dynamic edges, the collisions of life, where time past and time forward run into each other.
       -----G. Hill

In the process of moving from one state to another, from one habitat to another, of boxing things up and the comings and goings of possessions, my life's timepiece runs into each other, a mishmash of identities, my own ecosystems, colliding together. 
       ------G. Hill

No one ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and we are not the same person.
         – Heraclitus 

The tides, however hidden, move us forward.  If you’re brave enough to say goodbye, life will move you with a new hello.
            ― Paulo Coelho

Nature shows us the purpose of life is to obey the hidden command which ensures harmony among all and creates an ever-better world. 
         ------Maria Montessori

Nothing is hidden except for the purpose of having it revealed, and nothing is secret except for the purpose of having it come to light.
        Mark 4:22
