Nature as well as the man-made world is in an ongoing state of flux - everchanging, never static. Young ones are born each day - the older ones are dying. Seedlings spring up in a forest and the old falls down, bark and wood decay and are once again recycled into the soil from where it sprouted. Mother rock is split up by cold & heat, pounded and sculpted by waves & wind, invaded by lichens and fungi, cracked open by roots etc. Man construct and shape the world around him while the forces of nature relentlessly attack his creations and tear it down to its simplest elements. We often look from afar and only see the dramatic moments - if one looks closely around you, this dynamic interplay of formation and decay of the world we live in becomes more apparent. |
