There was a magenta strip of sky the other morning, with shades of purple intermingling the incoming blue. How is it that we are given such majesty?
Each moment the sky is different. I marvel at the gift of witness, the gift of wisdom, that impermanence is the way of form, and beauty is the eternity within it.
There are times when we ache for the law of impermanence to get on with changing the circumstance. There are times when we ache with the loss of impermanence as something changes too quickly. But within the aches of comings and goings there is the knowledge that life has welcomed us into the dance.
There is beauty to behold. There is love to dare. There is eternity within. Blessings be.
"impermanence is the way of form, and beauty is the eternity within it." This sentence is a profound atatement with respect to form and formless. I am still working on this spiritual clue regarding the significance of form vs.formless. The statement brings together form and formless - that is how it works!The form gets our attention and we can,if we pay attention, get to "the eternity beyond" (formless).This could be what eternity is all about. After the shell of our bodies(form)is gone, in eternity, we may recognize each other's formless beauty. Eckhart Tolle points out that Jesus called it "eternal life".
