“We never step into the same river twice, for new waters are always flowing upon us”. Heraclitus taught us that change is constant, but what he didn’t say is that all things change at different paces. Rocks change more slowly than animal species, which change more slowly than a single tree, and the weather changes minute by minute. We know this to be true, obvious even, but we can find it hard to recognise and reconcile the impact it has on us. Perhaps, because we perceive time as a constant and continuous stream always appearing to us at the same pace, we glance over the fact that different things change at different rates.
