That HAS to be the funniest news item I have read in years!

“Teaching critical thinking”? I think there’s a typo somewhere, I think the original read “teaching CRIMINAL thinking”!

LMAO!

Something about spring seems to have everyone contemplating impermanence, myself included. Probably the changing of the seasons, or maybe its an indicator of a Global consciousness . Whatever the reason, I enjoyed your post. Practice is key to the surrendering, at least it is for me.

Tamara,

Enjoyed article, but disagree regarding impermanence from Tibetan Buddhist perspective.

Impermanence not a palliative to the sorrows of samsara but an incentive to turn to the dharma.

Yoga view of impermanence:

LIKE WAVES OR OCEAN ( http://wp.me/PlUox-eY )

It’s true

We are like waves in the ocean

We are more truly the ocean than the wave.

But what if there were a wave that lasted 70 years

And was conscious and could interact with other waves

And could sing and dance and create new waves

Before ultimately merging back into the infinite ocean?

We would be in awe of those waves

We would flock to see those waves

We would rejoice in their very existence

And our ability to perceive them

Until they eventually returned

To their true eternal ocean selves.

Great post, Tamara. If surrendering to impermanence were easy, none of us would have to practice. This is one reason why the concept of sangha–community–is so important: so that we can share and receive encouragement when our own ability to face impermanence is at low ebb. I’m glad that you, John and Bob are in my iSangha!

Namaste!
