2025 “Impermanence”

2025 is about to end and my word of the year is impermanence. Lot’s of things changed and ended. There is a certain comfort in knowing things will end and part of me wants to hang onto that word for another year but this too shall pass. Some words I’m thinking about are adoration, ubuntu, simplicity and walking, stay tuned. There have been some good shows I’ve watched lately and one that is staying with me is Task. There is a good line that the main character Tom, a former priest says when asked about the sacrament of reconciliation. He says something like this, he never gave penances because most people are already too hard on themselves. As a good spiritual companion may say, this is something “to sit with.” Happy Christmas.
