Impermanence and Reunion

Life just keep getting more complicated. The goal is simplification.

Isn't it weird how anything, once it's over, can be summarized in three sentences: Beginning, Middle and End. For example, We fell in love despite major differences in values. I perpetuated a dead-end cycle for months, which may sound like an oxymoron, but trust me, it can pretty much be indefinite. He found a new girlfriend, so I finally let go. OR: We met on a plane. We fell in love quickly despite major differences of religion. He's been sentenced to 18 years in prison.

All of this leads me to my current view, if everything is impermanent, why bother?

Relationships don't last forever. They run their course, teach both people hopefully valuable lessons, and then they part ways and move on. I am always giving that advice, but rarely remember it myself.

I do know that I want to be open and accepting of love, not closed off or driven, however unconsciously, by fear.

Let the yoga (which means union in Sankrit and "reunion" in Tibetan) guide me back toward love and light in every moment, even the darkest.
