Embracing the beauty of impermanence and uncertainty from "summary" of M Train by Patti Smith
In life, nothing lasts forever. I have come to understand that everything is fleeting - moments, people, places. There is a certain beauty in impermanence, a kind of freedom that comes with knowing that nothing is permanent. It allows for a sense of lightness, a release from the burden of holding on too tightly to things that are destined to change or fade away. Uncertainty is another constant in life. We can never truly predict what the future holds, no matter how much we try to plan or control our circumstances. It can be unsettling, but it can also be liberating. Embracing uncertainty means being open to the unknown, to new possibilities that may arise unexpectedly. It means letting go of the need for certainty and embracing the adventure of not knowing what lies ahead. I have learned to find solace in impermanence and uncertainty, to see them as opportunities for growth and renewal. Instead of resisting change, I have learned to embrace it, to see it as a natural part of life's ebb and flow. It is in the impermanent and uncertain nature of things that I find the most beauty - in the fleeting moments of joy, in the unexpected twists and turns of life. Life is a journey filled with impermanence and uncertainty. It is in accepting this reality that we can find peace and contentment, knowing that we are a part of something much larger than ourselves. Embracing the beauty of impermanence and uncertainty is about surrendering to the flow of life, trusting in the process, and finding beauty in the fleeting moments that make up our existence.
