The Greek philosopher Heraclitus is often quoted as saying “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.” We cannot control the changes that happen around us, but we can learn to respond to them with resilience. This morning, we’ll explore what water can teach us about moving through change. [Photo by Karen Armina]
