This Too Will Pass


Nothing can be kept forever. All things are temporal and must eventually change.

When we learn acceptance of change we can truly master life. Each thing, person and place will come and go and when we learn that the going is inevitable we stop holding on and attaching and start to appreciate the blessings they bring.

Each joy will pass. Each sorrow will pass. We cannot bask in any one blessing forever nor can we suffer any one torment forever. Each thing has a time and then it will change or leave us.

So seek to accept the transitory nature of things. Let each experience come and then allow it to go. In this way the pain of lost attachment cannot harm us. In this way we are free.

In memory of Paul.
