Sometimes the fundamental impermanence of life can seem to throw a wet blanket over your life. Then goal setting, working hard, doing . . . anything . . . becomes pointless. The awareness of groundless-ness morphs into a kind of all-pervading cynicism laced with futility.
But this cynical attitude is still based on clinging. It’s hoping that not-giving-a-s**t will allow one to be protected, even untouched by Life. It doesn’t work.
There’s a deeper wisdom . . .
This wisdom is taught by all sacred traditions.
It fully acknowledges impermanence and groundlessness. But rather than give up on life – this wisdom path invites you to engage fully, to embrace the sacred fullness/emptiness of each moment.
To walk this path means that you set goals, work hard, create, and do what matters while remaining mindful and in wonder as you and all that is keeps falling, falling, falling away into the vastness of the Wisdom Heart.

Questions for you:
What are you clinging to?
How can you let go . . . and fall into Life (without being cynical or bitter)?
