change and permanence..


from i have to change to
i am changing to
i have changed
is a status shout

however,
if i had some permanence in me
and couldn't change
whatever it is that i wanted to
do i 'change' the need to change?

if i don't see a need to change
does it make me
obscure sure? 
how about permanence?

if that which changes
can't be changed,
and i don't resist nor bother comprehend
does it mean i don't change?

to stay as something that 
does not change
and remain in that despite change
neither through resist nor through effort
but, by just 'being' 
what is the need to change?

time is relative, so is space
longer and farther 
don't often change 
that which is closer than the next moment
inside and around

perhaps in seeking change
we secure our mortality
deeply embed ourselves 
in our 'limited' self?

May wise and learned being be revered, And always be sustained by alms. May they be pure in mind, And may their fame spread far and wi
