The beauty of 𝓘𝓶𝓹𝓮𝓻𝓶𝓪𝓷𝓮𝓷𝓬𝓮.
𝓘𝓶𝓹𝓮𝓻𝓶𝓪𝓷𝓮𝓷𝓬𝓮.
There is a type of peace that arises out of accepting the transient nature of all things. Much like the breath, every inhalation is followed by an exhalation—it cannot be otherwise.
To deny the natural flow of life is to deny life itself. The compulsion to cling or possess is akin to holding one’s metaphorical breath, suffocating the vitality of the moment.
Life’s impermanence invites us to embody gratitude and wonder. Nothing truly belongs to us; everything is merely borrowed for a time. Through our surrender we are able to reach into each moment more fully—breathing it all the way in and all the way out, allowing it to move us, change us, and evolve us.
In this way, we come to realise that clinging arises out of our naivety and resistance to change. And in that resistance, we choose to suffer.
Yet there is another way—to LOVE deeply while holding lightly.
