The realization of impermanence

 is paradoxically the only thing we can hold on to,

 perhaps our only lasting possession.

 It is like the sky, or the earth. 

No matter how much everything around us 

may change or collapse, they endure.

 The earth is still there; the sky is still there. 


Of course, even the earth trembles now and again,
 just to remind us 
that we cannot take anything for granted.
