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?

my tantra teacher Alex would say, "let it fill your battery and then move through you, don't try to hang on." that is always their advice. i'm highly imperfect at following it, myself, i tend to clutch certain things. and also to try to remember that my spine is a battery & holds energy & potency that can be pulled from one time to another.

I've been thinking about this and I think I'm relatively good at doing it with actual things, but not good at doing it for memories or records. Like, it's ok if the experience passes, but I want to hodl on to the memory of it and I know it can't.

Hm, hm. Lots to chew on.
