The last part of what you had said is very interesting and makes me think. I guess I should embrace this idea of "personal nourishment and reflection". I guess the ego makes you think that nothing is changing when it is. Everything is in constant motion, but most of the time I fail to see this due to the ego.
Thank you for sharing your experience and insight into this situation. It has really helped me to think about things.
