Why is change so frightening? I have a few hunches. Most of us want change without uncertainty. Yet, we forget that to live is to lose, again and again—sometimes in small, barely perceptible ways, and sometimes all at once. Impermanence isn’t just a concept; it’s the atmosphere we breathe. But when we’re grounded in stillness, we’re not just flailing through change chaotically—we’re held. There is something in us, deeper than identity or circumstance, that doesn’t blink in the face of change. It doesn’t resist. It allows everything to change. And that movement through stillness becomes our strength.
