"What Once Was True, Is No Longer So."



Attachment to Impermanence.
Everything comes to an end. There is nothing that can escape this fact, but just because it all comes to an end, doesn’t mean it stops, its just not what it was before. We are sad when someone we love passes on. We are sad when love fades. This is the facts of our being, this is what happens. So this then is my question. “If everything comes to an end, does this mean my being unable to sing will come to an end?” or anything similar to this? Or may be its just not what it was before.

"Grasping at things can only yield one of two results:
Either the thing you are grasping at disappears, or you yourself disappear.
It is only a matter of which occurs first."

~ESCAPE~


Escape from the illusions of the mind. See and hear with mind and body as one. Nothing is as your eyes and ears perceive. Understand with a concise conscience. Flow don’t fallow. Be not but what is not. Here and now. No escape tomorrow. Just here.

"If we live in forgetfulness, we die in a dream"

The first thing we need to do is return to life, to wake up and be mindful of each thing we do. Be aware when we are eating, drinking, sitting in meditation. Don't waste our time living in forgetfulness. When you sit down to eat, is your mind one with that moment in time, or is it at school or work, or on the bills that need to be paid. Only you have the power to escape.
