Yesterday was a beautiful day when we were at Virginia Beach---a sunny day with snug clouds hung over us, 87 degrees with fresh breezes. Many people came out to see and enjoy the ocean, sand, sun, walks, sitting, meditating, and doing nothing other than being there in the bosom of nature. A sheer realization is that nothing stays the same. People change. Pets also change. Sand is not the same. Ocean waves and winds are not the same. Even if things around me may be the same, I perceive and feel them differently.
There is no permanent refuge or rock that does not change on Earth. Where does my help come from? How can it happen? What should I do? People often answer these questions effortlessly. While sometimes simple answers may serve us well, we need a careful, comprehensive, contextual approach.
