Disconnecting

Saying phrases like "Rome wasn't built in one day" to express a sentimentality that things take time has limited value because we are not quite connected to such a time and place. Sure, the quote has a proper aim, but like many things - the end goal of such an expression often does not come through.

Examining a river (and any river) likely has more value for all. For example, and especially this year, the thing simply doesn't freeze at one single time. It takes a lengthy process of temperature change and gradual flow movement for a river in a colder climate to freeze over. It's confusion this year has me further wondering about some things, but the one I've been able to closely observe seems to be finding it's way.
