Sometimes, the most beautiful creations exist only for a moment.
We pour our hearts, our time, our love into them—yet they vanish in the blink of an eye.
And still, in that fleeting existence, they leave us transformed.

From fondant figures to moments in life, true beauty lies not in keeping, but in the courage to create, give, and let go.

The Reason Behind It All

Hey everyone, happy Sunday!It’s been a while since I picked up my pen. After a short vacation, I tried to write, but nothing came. Maybe because I was still floating in that gentle space of nothing…

Light & shadow shift across the earth, across my #body. Neither lasts, each arises only to vanish. #Impermanence itself is the teaching. The bright is not higher than the dark, nor the dark lesser than the bright. Both reveal the same truth, forms come & go, yet their coming & going points to what cannot be grasped. To see this is to understand that nothing is outside the path. (2/8)

Many people have written great ideas about the speech + the movie.

One interesting video essay touches on how we define slavery, empathy, + humanity.

此身暫在、如露如夢。

This body abides for a moment, like dew, like a dream.

#Impermanence. What we call the #body is only a temporary gathering of conditions, never fixed, never lasting. Dew forms in the cool of dawn yet vanishes with the rising sun. Dreams seem vivid while they last yet dissolve upon waking. In the same way, the #body appears briefly in the stream of existence but cannot be grasped as permanent. To see this is to be free from clinging.

During the 1st week of March, 2002, I was walking down the 1st floor aisle of Tech Support cubicles over-looking a well-maintained wooded area next to the Fox River in St. Charles, IL. The corporation I worked for was imbued with permanence. I thought to myself, ‘this place will be here forever.’ A week later the Big 5 accounting firm, Andersen, was indicted for obstruction of justice in connection with its audit of the energy company Enron.
