At night look up into the sky. See all of the stars? If you are in a very dark location can you see the clouds of gas strewn out across the Milky Way? Okay, never mind the gas. Over thousands of years many cultures created pictures in the sky from the stars and mythical tales to bring alive those pictures. All those suns shining down on us, it is amazing to think how vast the universe is.
The funny part about starlight is that what we see is not what that point of light is anymore. It takes millions of light years for those distant stars to get their light to us. Many stars that we see may no longer exist as stars, they could be matter blowing around space, a black hole, or even a form of light. We are much the same way. While what we do does not take millions of years, what we do and who we are is constantly changing. We change before most people notice. We are still seen as we were, not what we evolved to be. I’m not the same as I was 2 years ago. I’m happy and love the experience that life is, it really is great even in the down times. Those around me see the change, but by the time they notice I’ve already changed again. It is unending.

EVERY moment represents a change from the previous one.
Well... I’m not the same as I was a fraction of second ago :)
Yeah... that's why I've always found difficult to describe/define myself.
I have not noticed a change with any of you.
Lol anonymous :)
I haven't noticed a change in you, either!
You still bear the same name.
Unless, perhaps, you are many people, none of whom have changed much...
Mr. Methodic, by contrast, changes all the time.
He used to be the strong, silent type:
Now he comes up with these strange and unexpected revelations, that he actually takes the time to type out and broadcast.
I like coming here and running into the unexpected.
Now... If I can pry this woodpecker away from my keyboard...
