Settling after a tough drive. Noticing many contrasts, how the hotel is better than driving, and holding on to the contrast. Noticing how hard it is to let go of pleasure; here there is more space, more quiet, less tension on the eyes and mind. Yet all of these things shift, from comfort to discomfort and back again. As I let go of the pleasure and peace of sitting here, I experience something greater.
It is hard to believe, as I sit, that the truth of, the experience of, the reality of impermanence is available as a release to mortals.
