Me and mine are fine after the Marshal Fire near our house yesterday. Luckily our house was not in the evacuation zone. We housed my evacuated parents last night. It was a bit of a tense evening but they were able to return home this morning.

When these types of events happen they always remind me of how impermanent everything truly is, and how constant change really IS the nature of the universe.

Accepting change is maybe one of the hardest thing for people to do because stasis seems like a core requirement for attaining comfort. Working towards a controlled environment allows us to let our defenses down and relax. The ritual of comfort is required for a healthy psyche, it supports our biological need for rejuvenation.

Accepting change requires a constant dedicated practices to master.
