passing through
Not stopping here
Passing through describes movement from one side of something to the other, or temporary presence in a place: I'm just passing through on my way to Denver.
It suggests transience—not staying, not settling, just moving along.
Traffic passes through a town; light passes through a window; a thought passes through your mind.
