The universe is constantly changing in one way or another—absolutely nothing can stand still and yet, as human beings, we often try to keep the status quo for as long as possible—in other words, we seem to fight change “tooth and nail.”
It is one thing to notice, comment and have opinions around what is going on in our home, community, country and the world. It is another to take action. I have personally taken many tracks including demonstrating, burying my head, complaining, and manipulation; none of which have had any lasting effect on the situation(s) of concern.
I reached into my pocket and my fingers wrapped themselves around a fistful of change. How appropriate, lately the world seems to be overflowing with change. It is the one thing that we can rely on. One of the most basic beliefs of Buddhism is the concept of impermanence; that we should not cling to any object, person, or belief because our reality is constantly changing.
