Ralph Waldo EmersonNature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same
About This Quote
The idea that nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same can be a tough pill to swallow. However, it’s a valid statement based on the fact that nature itself is constantly changing. The weather is always changing, so it’s not so hard to believe that nature is changing as well. One minute, you might be the most beautiful thing on the planet and the next minute you look like a bloated pig. It’s not always easy to see how nature is changing, but we must keep in mind that we are only living in a moment in time and we can’t take this for granted.
