THE GEOLOGICAL CYCLE
ROCK MOVES THROUGH
A CYCLE OF
CHANGE
WHICH
LEAVES CAVES
AS
WITNESS TO THE
MOVEMENT.
CAVES
ARE
LEFT AT THE
'LIMINAL'
POINT -
THE
MOMENT OF TRANSITION.
OBSERVE ALWAYS
THAT EVERYTHING IS THE RESULT OF
CHANGE.
THERE IS NOTHING NATURE LOVES SO WELL
AS TO CHANGE EXISTING FORMS
AND
TO MAKE NEW ONES LIKE THEM.
MARCUS AURELIUS AD 121-180
MATTER IS THE ENERGY OF THE UNIVERSE.......
IT IS THE PRINCIPLE OF CHANGE.......
IT IS ALWAYS IN A STATE OF DISEQUILIBRIUM
AS IT MOVES OUT INTO A NEW PHASE,
AND FROM THAT -
A NEW FORM EMERGES.
BEDE GRIFFITHS (1989)
