"Let everything happen to you
Beauty and terror
Just keep going
No feeling is final."
(Rainer Maria Rilke)
Impermanence is the one constant in life. No matter what you're experiencing, whether pleasant or otherwise, understand that it's fleeting and as with all things in life - this too shall pass.”
Andrei Lyskov
The most terrible and beautiful and interesting things happen in a life. For some of you, those things have already happened. Whatever happens to you belongs to you. Make it yours. Feed it to yourself even if it feels impossible to swallow. Let it nurture you, because it will.

RILKE WROTE: “So you must not be frightened…if a sadness rises up before you larger than any you have ever seen; if a restiveness like light and cloud shadows passes over your hands and over all you do. You must think…that life has not forgotten you.”
Sharon Salzberg • Faith
No amount of prosperity, no amount of difficulty, is certain or forever. A triumph becomes a trial, a trial becomes a triumph. Life can change in an instant.
