In this world of duality it’s all there — the good, the bad, the ugly, the beautiful, hot and cold, pain and pleasure, and on and on. Embracing it all, life offers me a fullness otherwise not known. Thank you to Hermann Hesse, a Seer, for the cogent reminder.

Beginning with the single celled amoeba , to Homo Sapien, every speck of anything, and everything existing on our precious Spaceship Earth is subject to the realness of Impermanence. No exceptions. None! Note: the origin of "This too shall pass" has a very interesting origin in Greek history. Tipping Points are real.

This is very liberating and true. Face it, you are not harmonious, a solid citizen or the master of yourself. You are a bird in a storm. Don’t lie to yourself!

The most honest look at the whole experience of the human condition. There is no black and white. Being human is messy and shades of gray. Beautifully written. Thanks for sharing.💜

And it's our job as artists to constantly remind other people of this undeniable reality.
