impermanence

I live in a rainbow of chaos.
"It is important to understand" - but how and why is it so damn hard! - "that impermanence is not a negative aspect of life. Impermanence is the basis of all life. If what exists would not be impermanent life could not go on", says Thich Nhat Hanh who must know it. But he is a smooth and careful Buddhist monk and I am a chaotic control freak with multiple health issues spinning me out of gravity.
At least I slept a solid night's sleep even if waking up meant facing the same intense symptoms as yesterday.
