You shall not go down twice to the same river, nor can you go home again…what is most changeable is shown to be fullest of eternity, and your relationship to the river, and the river’s relationship to you and to itself, turns out to be at once more complex and more reassuring than a mere lack of identity. You can go home again…so long as you understand that home is a place where you have never been.

∆ Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed

“The path isn’t a straight line; it’s a spiral. You continually come back to things you thought you understood and see deeper truths.”
