Accepting impermanence

The very nature of life is impermanent.The color of leaves of trees changes, seasons follow each other cyclically, we grow older by the day, we experience periods of happiness, sorrow and misery followed by other emotions again.

Thus, life is not static.It is constantly changing-ever evolving.

In the context of this evolution,if the shifts in events are not major, or say "tectonic shifts", we presume life is , in general, stable .However, major events like a divorce, loss of job or loved one throws us off balance.

Understanding that these events too, just like the "lesser significant" ones, are a part of the ebb and flow.

It is the hankering for permanence and stability that creates misery.Attachment to supposed stability is the root of it.

Keeping a not knowing mind, flowing freely,accepting what comes in the path and holding onto the belief that"this too shall pass" is the only way out!
