“However, as Thich Nhat Hanh says, “It’s not impermanence that makes us suffer. What makes us suffer is wanting things to be permanent when they are not.” We can continue to resist reality, or we can learn to frame things in a new way, seeing our life as dynamic and vibrant, an amazing adventure. Then we will truly be in contact with the freshness of each moment, whether we think our lover is perfect or not. If we can embrace continual change in this way, we’ll start to notice the hum of anxiety quieting down and slowly, slowly fading away.”
