[MD] ever-changing patterns

[MarshaV]

Marsha:
The point is that is an ever-changing pattern of value, and the only finite
thing about it is the mistaken idea that it is in any way 'finite'.  There is not 
one aspect of that meadow path that doesn't change.  Not one!     

I didn't write the post for you as much as to explain my point-of-view.

It simply makes no sense to say a well-worn path is ever-changing. If it were ever-changing you could not rightly call it a well-worn path. If it were ever-changing it would make no sense to call it a static pattern. If it was ever-changing the path would NOT be able lead you anywhere in particular.

Do you have a note from your doctor excusing you from the basic demands of communication? No, of course not. Nobody gets out of that. You're just being intellectually sloppy and irresponsible. You're trying desperately to make a case that words mean whatever you want them to mean. That way you can never be wrong about anything.

Everything including the origination, the destination and every aspect in-between has changed in some way.  It is ALL different.  That is what I mean by ever-changing patterns, as opposed to being fixed or finite.
