Holding Back the Storm
I was just reading Thich Nhat Hanh on the subject of impermanence. He makes note of the fact that it appears that our suffering in life comes from the impermanence of things. Life itself is impermanent as death takes us all away in time and when we lose the ones we love, we [...]
