Welcome

This is truth
Impermanence, our unceasing passage through time, does not cause human suffering. Our craving for permanence in the midst of impermanence causes our suffering. The solution to suffering, then, is to stop craving permanence. The solution to suffering is to love time.

I think of emptiness as the womb of all possibilities. This is a journey into the unknown to a known end. How we live it is up to us and is our responsibility. The first law of quantum mechanics explains it all. The observer affects the experiment.
We stand alone between earth and sky and walk together.

That was a very thoughtful post. Thanks. I want to read Jon Paul Sydnor, The Great Open Dance. Sounds great.
