the beauty of impermanence

Oct 3

Impermanence, the inevitable truth of life's constant changes, can often feel challenging to accept. Yet, when we sit with this reality, it also offers a unique beauty: the opportunity to live more fully in each moment. What if we re-framed impermanence from a source of fear into a gentle reminder to appreciate life’s fleeting nature? Could this perspective allow us to embrace each experience, knowing it’s both precious and temporary?

Consider the areas of your life where change has been difficult to accept. What lessons have these transitions brought? What if, instead of resisting change, you could find a small sense of peace in the process of letting go? As we reflect on impermanence, we can ask ourselves whether we are truly living with an open heart, welcoming each moment for what it is rather than what we wish it could stay.

This week, I invite you to practice embracing impermanence. Spend time outdoors, observing nature’s cycles—notice the falling leaves or the fading light of day. Reflect on a recent change in your life and ask, “How has this shaped me? What beauty or growth has it brought?” Finally, take a moment to appreciate something or someone, fully aware that this exact moment will never come again. By holding space for impermanence, we might just find ourselves holding space for life in its fullest.
