"There are infinite opportunities for us to notice impermanence all around us. Nature is a never-ending dance of arising and passing away. It's never static, never fixed. The flower bud opening into a blossom, leaves falling from a tree, the sun rising and setting, the moon waxing and waning, ocean waves swelling, cresting, crashing and receding, or birdsong that emerges and dissolves back into silence—impermanence is everywhere. All of these sights and sounds are reminders of this dance and how, if we hold things lightly, we can live more in the flow of life, open to this mysterious intelligence that animates everything."
