Staying open – 23
Some moments we live feel so acute that it’s almost impossible to imagine not being in that moment ever again. Like when you’re really really sick. The pain and discomfort are so all encompassing that even though you intellectually know you will not be sick forever it’s hard to feel that possibility.
But the cruel and joyous truth of life is that everything is ephemeral. The truth of this moment will not be the truth of your life.
It’s easy to forget this. It’s easy to take the beautiful moments for granted. Being open to this very moment helps me stay grounded and thankful for what is here now.

I find that so liberating. The bad moments are ephemeral- it‘s just a phase- this too shall pass. What a great reminder!
