December 9 · Reflection
Marcus returned again and again to a simple truth: everything is in motion. The seasons, the people around us, our own bodies and moods, nothing stays fixed. At first this can sound sad. But it cuts both ways. The hard moods pass too. The stuck situation is already shifting, even when you cannot see it. Impermanence is not just the loss of good things; it is also the promise that nothing painful is permanent. So you can hold today loosely. Enjoy what is good here without clutching at it, and bear what is hard knowing it is not the final word. Like a river, this moment is already becoming the next one. Let it move.
