One topic that came up a lot is the transient nature of most worldly things and that those things mean relatively little in an eternal sense. In the past I have placed importance on many things that now seem trivial but not unreal. I have read the comments by various spiritual leaders that often refer to the worldly events as unreal, to me, they are not unreal just very limited. We are experiencing existence and those events in order to grow in love. The events, in themselves, have very little meaning. The love does not and in that way, the events have value.

Transience
A quiet day with some exercise, meditating and a lot of cooking. I also had one client and a good talk with Maria.
