You won't be staying

Feelings can be astonishingly convincing. When despair comes, it says: this is how things are.

When loneliness comes, it says: I am alone.

When fear comes, it says: this will never change.

But intensity is not permanence. In this episode of The Empty Cup, we explore the strange mercy of impermanence: not only does everything we love change, but suffering changes too. Sometimes we don’t need to fix a painful feeling or argue with it. We may only need to remember:

I know something about you.

You won’t be staying.
