Dear Gloria,
I am a little puzzled in translating the expression "to move in place" in:
"Change is the name of the game.
The sun, which is always, nevertheless, seems to move in place, and the light it shines seems to move with it. The leaf you look at now is inundated with the sun’s light! In a minute, the sunlight might be shining on the next leaf, or the leaf may seemingly become brighter or more shaded.
What is there in the relative world that is glued in place and not infernally moving? It is even said that a stone is whirling in atoms of space. We see for ourselves that immutable stone gets smoothed and eventually may be known as sand."
By "moving in place", talking about the sun, do you mean that it is actually changing position or that it seems to be moving while staying at the same place? Because I contrast this sentence with the other one: " what is there in the relative world that is GLUED IN PLACE" which has no ambiguity for me.
Thanks
P.S.1 Where does this title "The Cow Jumps Over the Moon" come from?
And I don't have any idea about Topsyturvyvile, Peter, Mopsy and Cottontail.
P.S.2 What do you mean by "distance pursues you closely" in
"You are agile in life. For a moment shadows seem to run across the moon, and distance pursues you closely. There is nothing without your presence, that is, your interpretation of it. The same non-existent time moves faster than the speed of light and slower than a snail. What seems is not. And what doesn’t seem, is. How do you like that?"
