Keep up your great work. The Buddhist teaching of impermanence has helped me a great deal in understanding this. Example: “We are often sad and suffer a lot when things change, but change and impermanence has a positive side. Thanks to impermanence, everything is possible.” ~Thich Nhat Hanh~ (fom the book: No Death – No Fear)

Impermanence is also expressed in this poetry by me
Ripples On A Pond
09-12-94 (Edited 01-05-09) © Carol A. Hanson

The pond is brilliant with ripples moving steadily
on their journey across to the other side.

I find it is quite impossible to follow a single ripple
All the way from this side to the other.

Perhaps because every ripple becomes the one it –
Follows, Again, again, again and again

I contemplate these beautiful, lively, ripples and
See each as just one moment of my life within Life

And just as I cannot follow a ripple across the pond
I cannot know how I shall reach the other side, or when.

It seems that life, like each ripple, has no past, and no future,
simply this one amazing, precious, brilliant, moment of being.

Thank you, lovely, lovely, pond for teaching me,
That I can be only as perfect as this current moment.

I have found for myself surrendering is rewarded with something better than what I was even thinking. ✌🏻❤️Gaelen
