Things pop up

Things pop up while you’re reading:

“You could not step twice into the same river; for other waters are ever flowing on to you.”
Heraclitus, On the Universe (540 BC - 480 BC)

“Tri peth a dylai dyn ystyried: Ble mae, O ble mae'n dod, a ble mae'n myned”
(“There are three things a person should know: Where he is coming from, where he is and where he is going to”)
A traditional Welsh saying

Life is not hurrying
on to a receding future, nor hankering after
an imagined past. It is the turning
aside like Moses to the miracle
of the lit bush, to a brightness
that seemed as transitory as your youth
once, but is the eternity that awaits you.
R S Thomas The Bright Field
