Duncan my friend, it is as if you are speaking right from my heart. Thank you for sharing this. I do find life to be impossibly beautiful, and somehow, all the horrific things that happen on a daily basis don't seem to pull me into deep despair. Centering into the truth of impermanence helps. Realizing that all things change, that we are here to experience the brevity of being, helps me expand my perspective. As you write, "Rather than relate to change, we’re driven to explain it." Relating to it eases my path, explaining it gets me into a state of more suffering. Deep bow to you habibi <3
It’s both comforting and encouraging to know this perspective is experienced elsewhere! Stepping into it has felt tentative at times-a bit of that responsibility piece coming up, I think. But it feels right, and allows me to swim in life’s current with renewed energy. Deeply appreciate your thoughtful reflection Moudi, and your share!
