Change and Wonder

Change and wonder: 

of change and wonder - that there is no lasting moment, not even a bardo of between. Everything is in shift to a new surrender in the very instant it becomes. Nothing in the world is immune to this, there are no signs of permanence in anything we view. 

our life is change. 

of course we realize this, deeply so, and yet hide it just the same. We're sacred of life in process, the decay of youth to age, of light to dim and eventual darkness. There are myths of our continuation, eternal life in certain strength and vital mind. But in this world - all we know is motion, a constant letting go even as we dream of something lasting. 

yet nothing does. 

and that's our very wonder - our motion is a gift to this world; of breath returning to its source of air, bones given back to earth, and the even the atoms of our existence being lent to other forms. In this sense we do continue, a true myth of life eternal.

beyond this we know little more. 

to see that everything is changing allows us to embrace ourselves as motion; a caress against all we adore and cherish, a quick return to light in the moment of our darkness, to love even as we're letting go of all we've held dearest. Through change we accept the paradox of being; that there are no true things or moments, but only life in its flow of motion, brief in both its becoming and surrender. That we are change and wonder through every we're alive.
