Everything Changes

It’s no secret everything changes. You know this, I know this, we all know this. We watch the sun rise and set. We feel the seasons turn. Our experience this morning isn’t the one here now. We know that entire species and civilizations have come and gone. Stars and galaxies are born and fade away. Not even the very fabric of space and time is stable.

But how many of us really understand the implications of this truth? How many of us live as if we understand this – that there are no stable, unchanging things, that everything is always in flux, that our experience is one seamlessly connected flow of ever-changing perceptions, sensations, thoughts, and feelings?
