(Metaphysics alert! Please ignore if not interested in such matters.)
Since I began to reject my former plain-man's-Platonism;
and my rapid adoption of what might be termed a Mormon Metaphysics
(i.e. derived from Mormon Theology - which is, roughy speaking, Christianity seen through the lens of Old Testament modes of thinking, theology understood as God's relationships with Man through history, and with the Bible as a whole understood as-close-to-face-value as possible, especially in terms of the nature of God);
instead of Classical Theology
(CT being Christianity seen through the lens - and categories - of Greek philosophy - i.e. mainstream Christianity since about the death or disappearance of the Apostles)
- I am finding it hard to imagine or acknowledge the reality of stasis.

Stasis now seems to me to be the same thing as non-existence or extinction.
If everything is always moving, then what seems to be stasis is perhaps actually cyclical - it appears unchanging because it is going around in circles:
Either circles too small to be perceived, circular movement too slow for the movement to be noticed, or movement in circles so rapid as to blur into apparent stasis.
