The Path of Impermanence

Most of us would agree that one of the ‘for-sures’ in this life is change. That nothing lasts forever. Doesn’t mean it’s always welcome, but we certainly can count on it. The concept of time, itself, is impermanent. And yet, many try to manipulate it in fabulously creative, sometimes detrimental ways, only to ultimately fall flat. So, if this Truth of Impermanence is inescapable, how do we embrace it or at least come to peaceful terms with it?

Maybe we simply walk the path, but with attentiveness, kindness, and care. Avoid living in the world of ‘later.’ You are here now. Later, you will not be who you are at this point in time. And, who you are right now, may be exactly whom you need to be. Breathe that in.

Impermanence is a reminder of our humanness. That we exist - today. And that is something powerful, extraordinary and beautiful.
