This is a variegated Mexican Mint; the white parts on the leaves are caused by cell mutation. Could it one day become completely green one day? Of course. Plus, the white part has no chlorophyll= cannot photosynthesize. Impermanence really is everywhere.

Job Searching and Late Night Existentialism

We’ve not very long on this planet. It itself will even end one day and what unknown miracles will we have reached by then? I suppose the point is to make the absolute most of the time that we do have - there shouldn’t be a day spent not lived to the fullest. There should be no sadness and no regrets. When the impermanence of it all is mixed perfectly with an appreciation of it all, I don’t think any task or strife should ever seem impossible. Be undeterred and undaunted. It is so clear and yet so hard to understand.

Live to love and love to make a difference.

As I myself had discovered, there is an acute sadness and sense of loss in the recognition that all life is destined for death. But such an awareness brings with it a sense of immediacy and also freedom. Since one realizes that the future really is uncertain, the present moment takes on increased importance. One sees that this moment is, in fact, all that one has or ever can have. The rest is just empty speculation. And since everything that one is and does is one day going to come to nothing, one is free to be whatever and do whatever exists in one's heart to be and do. This is exactly what the spiritual path is about - to live increasingly in the present and, in this present, to become fully and completely who we are, the person that it is our fate to become, the person already written in our heart of hearts. Thus it is that awareness of death leads us powerfully to the practice of dharma and, thereby, to the discovery of our true being.
