Attachment

It isn’t unusual to have uneasy or insecure feelings lingering in the background of our experience in the face of everything constantly changing in life (impermanence).  It’s also not unusual for us to think that it’s us against the world and that we are separate from everything and everyone else and forget that everything is interconnected and dependent on everything else (interdependence).  In response to these uncomfortable sensations we often want or desire or crave or grasp after things we believe might reduce those wobbly and isolated feelings and stabilize and solidify our lives (attachment). We eventually realize though that those things change too and don't really soothe the isolation. The task for our attention and reflection then is likely to be more about being open and present for things the way they really are, in what ever way they show up in our lives and minds.
