  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.

        I would also argue the bridge is ever changing as well. It has different vehicles crossing it, every tire wears the surface, the materials expand and contract with temperature, the structure weathers continuously.

        Just because one doesn’t notice, doesn’t mean something doesn’t change.
