All conditions are transient. This is the truth, you know. And yet we get stuck trying to make things solid, or feeling that we’re solid. And it can be just a feeling! It's really important to learn how to know the transience of all things, especially to be with the arising of something difficult. Feel it, maybe even hear the thoughts around it, and then stay with it. Stay with it and watch it change. It will change—everything changes—it passes away, and then it’s gone.
