Life checked me out of nowhere, and it sent me back to one of the hardest truths the Buddha ever taught: nothing stays the same. Pulling from the Five Daily Remembrances and the story of the four mountains, this piece sits with getting older, getting hurt, losing what we love, and figuring out what’s actually ours to keep. A reflection on pain, presence, being a father, and how to live right while the mountains of time are already closing in.
I really enjoyed reading this post, and the cartoon was wonderful. I think you would really enjoy the book 4000 Weeks: Time Management For Mortals. It shares a lot of this wisdom. Thank you for helping me to slow down and reflect on the joy that is present.
I really enjoyed reading this, the animation and the song!

Second on that book! I appreciated it as well and have been thinking it’s time for a re-read.
