...as before, as is, and as shall be, the desert, the twice-burnt land, knows itself that in the end, only the desert will be that which does remain.

All else passes, living and not, and none of it shall stand against the trial of deep time.

Water besets rock, and then, having done, spirits itself away that no eye may see it.

Mountains shiver to fragments, soften, and flow down into the valley.

As deep time flows, without pause, without concern, without mercy.
It's coming this way. All of what you see is uphill and it's moving. But it's moving very very slowly, and by the time it arrives and buries everything in its path, we shall be long gone and have no concerns over it.
Every bit of it is coming this way.
