about

Things come back around, and so do we. When I was younger I was really fond of the notion that we're not individuals who persist in time, we're states of motion that happen to share some things in common over time. Who I was last year has very little to do with who I am now.

However, as I got older I realized that most of us are pretty predictable after all, and our character really is our destiny. Or at least, the part of our destiny that we can control. If there is any such part. What I'm trying to say, I think, is that we keep returning to the same people we were before. The toddler in each of us is still visible even as we get wrinkly.

There's also a lot of recurrence everywhere. Nature isn't a looping pedal, it's a season cycle. Every year is different, but you still know about when the leaves will change. It's good to feel the return, and know that it's the first time each time, born anew again and again.
