Impermanence
& change
✺
Oh, my life
is changing everyday
in every possible way

One never steps in the same river twice, for it is not the same river, and one is not the same person.

It is not impermanence that makes us suffer. What makes us suffer is wanting things to be permanent when they are not.
―Thich Nhat Hanh
~
Our lives are written in disappearing ink.
―Michelle Cliff

This too shall pass.
―Unknown
~
Change is the only constant.
―Heraclitus
~
Change is just the way things are.
―Buddhist saying
~
You can't be what you were
So you better start being
Just what you are
—Fugazi
~
Your projects will go unfinished.
—Chögyam Trungpa

Thanks to impermanence,
everything is possible.
—Thich Nhat Hanh

One moment your life is a stone in you, and the next, a star.
—Rainer Maria Rilke
