In poverty we accept impermanence. Impermanence terrifies us because it brings us face to face with our mortality, our death. But impermanence can also be seen simply in terms of this rhythm, this flow, the stillness connecting acts of motion, the stillness connecting the two breaths, the stillness connecting the two waves. There is impermanence, but there is also continuity.
(Aspects of Love 2 by Laurence Freeman OSB )
