This Too Will Be Swept Away



Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong as its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away. - Marcus Aurelius Antoninus

This is how I feel right now.  I feel like the river of time and events is flowing steadily by me, and I'm just sitting on the shore watching in solemn regret.  I want to dive into the river and immerse myself in it's current, letting it take me to life's next grand adventure. 

However, I haven't the motivation to leave my quiet perch on this rock overlooking the chilly waters.  It's like I am stuck here, a heavy weight on my chest holding me back from taking the leap I so long to take.

Problem is-I wish there were someone to leap with me.

    I know exactly how you feel. I feel the same. It's like I'm stuck in a glass room with all my books and papers. I'll leap with you, too. But I think maybe we both need to figure how.

    This is the best ever post I have read here. I am deeply touched by the undercurrents as strong as the currents of this river, and I am being swept away by myriad of thoughts and emotions. I wish to take this leap as well.
