THE GIFT OF IMPERMANENCE Sometimes things fall apart. And sometimes, in the midst of things falling apart, we feel lost, abandoned, without hope. It feels as though our path has been blocked, our home has been lost. But wait. If things hadnt fallen apart, how would you have ever come to remember That which cannot fall apart? Didnt the shock of the falling-apart make you stop, breathe, and contemplate deeper truths? Didnt the devastation actually begin to remind you of your true path, which cannot be blocked? You built your world on things that were changeable, impermanent, not essential for happiness. The crumbling of your world now feels cruel, like a punishment from the Universe, a sick joke. But there is compassion there. Life is trying to wake you up from your spiritual slumber. It is saying: do not build your world on things that are changeable, impermanent, non-essential. Build your world on a deep understanding of your true nature. Build your world on the strongest foundation there is. Build your world on love. Let impermanence remind you of what is essential. ~Jeff Foster
