I’ve been sitting with an inquiry for a while now. Its a noticing, that all things in this world are in motion and changing. Large or small, quickly or slowly. I can’t find even one exception to this. It seems that the present moment is indeed impermanent, always fluid.
When I'm feeling anything, happy, sad, angry, frustrated, whatever, somewhere in the back of my mind, I know that feeling will shift, will change into something else. This seems to take the sting out of painful feelings. But it doesn't seem to take the joy out of the pleasurable feelings. I guess I know that even though the pleasure will also end, there's more around the corner. Faith of sorts i guess.
And underneath all this, as I am experiencing this present moment, there is a sense of stillness, calm.
Compassion arises as I perceive the world in this way and kindness comes easily, and anger's grip is less tenacious.
Feels magical sometimes.
