All things arise

A friend shared this with me the other day (thank you, friend). It speaks so deeply to what I am looking at in my life. I finally realized I would like to share it.

---

All things arise,
Suffer change,
And pass away.

This is their nature.

When you know this,
Nothing perturbs you,
Nothing hurts you.

You become still.

It is easy.

-Ashtavakra Gita 11:1
