Nothing Permanent: A Haiku on Impermanence and Freedom
A haiku on impermanence and freedom — three lines for the lesson that nothing is permanent, and the release that quietly follows when you stop holding on.
A haiku. Possibly the shortest version of the longest lesson.
When you discover
There is nothing permanent
Then you will be free
The grip is what hurts. Not the change. The change is going to happen either way. The freedom is in the loosening of the grip.
