Some things are here forever... maybe

Antique brass taps, like the one above, are solid, here for a very long time... when they are cared for, watched over, and protected.

Some things seem not to last... they fade away very quickly, like this toadstool in the forest just up the road... 

... but...

I have the feeling that the ephemeral will outlast the solid because the ephemeral is being made new, constantly.

The toadstools will still be leaping out of the ground long after the brass taps have disintegrated.
