The impermanence of all things physical used to terrify me.
In the world I lived in, the drive was to create on the physical plane, so acknowledging the impermanence of all things physical really undermined what I held as important.
As I went on a more spiritual growth path, as I spend more time on the mat, my relationship with the physical started to shift.
As I became less attached to outcomes, I became less attached to the physical plane.
That shift, however slight, opened a crack up just enough for my relationship with impermanence to change; instead of causing fear, it began to heighten my appreciation of what is.
Here and now, this, has never been and will never be again.
How can that not be the most special ‘thing’ there is?
If you keep saying ‘the bad guy won’ and judging everyone who supports them as an idiot, then you are playing right into the ‘good vs evil’ fallacy.
At the South Island Show Jumping Champs late last year, my daughters won the classes they were entered in.
A while ago we were at a horse show. Zara and I walked the course, and I read the jump off and told Zara what it was.
