...the earth and all therein, the sky
And all thereunder change and change again,
We too ourselves, who of this world are part,
Not only flesh and blood but pilgrim souls....
And one by Octavia Butler
(Earthseed: The Books of the Living, Parable of the Sower, 1993):
All that you touch
You Change.
All that you Change
Changes you.
The only lasting truth
Is Change
God
Is Change.

shaking ground
