You won't be staying

Feelings can be astonishingly convincing. When despair comes, it says: this is how things are. When loneliness comes, it says: I am alone. When fear comes, it says: this will never change. But intensity is not permanence. In this episode of The Empty Cup, we explore the strange mercy of impermanence: not only does everything we love change, but suffering changes too. Sometimes we don’t need to fix a painful feeling or argue with it. We may only need to remember: I know something about you. You won’t be staying. ★ Support this podcast ★

Feelings can be astonishingly convincing. When despair comes, it says: this is how things are.
When loneliness comes, it says: I am alone.
When fear comes, it says: this will never change.

But intensity is not permanence. In this episode of The Empty Cup, we explore the strange mercy of impermanence: not only does everything we love change, but suffering changes too. Sometimes we don’t need to fix a painful feeling or argue with it. We may only need to remember:

I know something about you.
You won’t be staying.
