This is very simplified but…

If you’ve ever seen a swirling eddy in a river, you’ll observe that the water composing the formation is passing in, around, and out very quickly – yet the pattern in the river is sustained. Depending on the surrounding conditions, it can be very stable and long lasting.

The water is your cells, the eddy is you.
