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.
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.
It’s sound. 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.
