25

"before long, nature, which controls it all, with alter everything you see and use it as a material for something else over and over again. So that the world is continually renewed." (25 from meditations Marcus Aurelius)
I like the idea that this passage suggests. Nature has the power to do whatever it wants and we as humans can't stop it, but I also look at it as humans are apart of this change and cause a great deal of it. The passage also says nature uses the old as material for something else and it reminds me of how artist learn from one another taking and modifying techniques.
