I need to think very hard about how I struggle to connect impermanence and gratitude, and think of ways to honour and cherish things that don't involve permanence. This is revealing a gap there for me, because everything composts in the end. Why can I not honour gifts given me and also allow them to return to the earth?

thinking more about this, i think it is the act of release as the part of the spell where control is relinquished and it is up to the Universe, given back, and specifically in terms of gratitude, i see value in that letting-go; when blessing is surrendered to the world, the world will return it in further blessings. law of 3 and all that.

This makes a lot of sense to me, and is pretty much why I need to turn my attention to it. I need to send some curiosity towards relinquishing control of my past, even the parts I loved, even the parts I chose.
