transient

nothing stays.

everybody dies.

what is lasting?
i once thought i knew, when really, i just hoped.
i want to hope again, but i worry to live a lie.
i worry to live nothing. live for nothing.
nothing to guide me.

nothing stays.

what stays is what matters.

we can be blind to what matters.

we can forget what matters when we got lost in what's transient.

transient.
also known as exciting. new. different.
a new hope when old hope is lost in a cloud of fear.
a new hope for something to last.
all we do is strive for joy and expect it to last.
long lasting joy can't be found in transience.
it can only be found in what lasts.
but what is lasting?

nothing stays.

we are blind to what stays.

we never want what stays.
only transience.
nothing stays when nothing is still.
only transience.
nothing stays when nothing is still.

be still.
how to be still when nothing is lasting?
what is lasting?
nothing stays.

everybody dies.
