Layers

   As I was walking a few days ago I noticed a patch of asphalt where the surface smoothness had been compromised, forming a depression which revealed the material below. Within this area there was a small puddle formed by the rains of a few days earlier, though receded a bit from the day before when I first noticed it. 
   In the picture below, it appears like what you are seeing could be an aerial view of a lake, but what interested me (and perhaps it looked quite different in person than it appears in the picture) was not this, but were the layers created by the revelation through the damaged surface, and the resulting creation of another surface by the collected rainfall. 
   I don't know if other people can feel the changes that occur through the passage of events, but I have a really hard time understanding time and its' supposed passage in a physical way, so seeing its' evidence, as in the photo, serves as both an illustration and proof that it actually happens.
  
Proof positive?
