I'm grateful for all your posts and especially this one. Yes—impermanence makes everything I do both supremely important and completely nonsignificant. I can live with that.
Brilliant! “Isn’t everything always happening against the backdrop of the grave?”…and that backdrop is more and more present as I age…as I notice what’s happening in the world. My new mantra…”impermanance”. Thank you for the inspiration! Love and hugs🙏💙🥰

I'm so happy to hear this. Thanks for reading and for sharing this with me, Moe! <3
Impermanence is so real especially when children grow up. It is like losing a limb. Thank you for this, Emily 💞
Absolutely. Thank you, Nazish 🩵
What a beautifully written gentle reminder about living life’s ups and downs, and the magic of being made of stardust✨
Thank you, Amanda! ⭐⭐
I love this essay. It captures my sense of the world and also of myself, standing here in my kitchen, inside my corporeal body.
Thank you so much, Valerie. I'm so glad that it resonates (from me here in my corporeal body typing this) 🩵
