Just as you will never cross the same river twice, you, and those around you, are ever changing. You are a completely different person in a completely different world than existed that 17 years ago.

how do you never cross the same river twice when traveling to work takes you across the same bridge twice? 🤔

The metaphor is that the river is always changing. The water is different water, and the water is continuously shaping the earth around and beneath it.

ok, but the water always goes the same way?

It’s sounds. The water might be going the same way, but speed, depth, and contents are constantly changing. Sure, you can cross a constructed bridge everyday and nothing changes.
This is actually crossing a river, on foot, wagon, horse, etc. It’s always changing.
