Weather

"The image that I like the best is that it's like being in outer space and looking at all the weather changes down on the planet earth. You see that they come and go, and they shift. But then if you're on the ground and there's a hurricane, or whatever it is, it can feel pretty permanent. It's like having the perspective of what you're going through being temporary, like weather that changes. Therefore you don't get hooked by the current thunder storm —or, lulled and attached to the current blue waters and fragrant smells of the Hawaiian beaches, whatever it might be, whatever gets you hooked. " Pema Chodron
