Transparency and Impermanence

When we sit and practice,
we begin to see what is known as the transparency and impermanence of time and space.
We begin to realize how much we are dwelling on our little things.
And we also realize we cannot catch any of it and build a house on it.
We cannot even lay the foundation.

The whole thing keeps shifting under our feet, under our seat.
The rug is being pulled out from under us completely,
simply from that experience of working with ourselves.

Nobody is pulling it, but we find that the rug moves constantly.
So we begin to feel that we are moving.
