But that also could look like pushing yourself into social situations that feel like a little uncomfortable. That could look like actually having that stressful conversation with people that really, really don't agree with you on something. So it manifests... Our ability to kind of lean into discomfort, that opportunity manifests itself in so many different ways.

Yeah, that's really nicely described. I mean, I'm sure you have like special spots in nature that you visit. There's this one little place in Laurel Canyon and Fryman Canyon where I hike, where there's like a little cataract, a little waterfall. And, you know, I go back there quite often on my hikes. And I recognize this waterfall, this little area in this creek, because it appears the same.

I recognize its form. But I'm not under any delusion that it's the same exact water molecules, right? I know that the water molecules have all moved together. downstream. And what I am doing, I'm literally just recognizing the form of it. Or it's like, if let's say you have a lighter that you might use around here for some incense or something like that.

If you were to light that flame, right, you recognize that flame there by its form, but you know that all of the molecules in there have like moved on, right? But we are curiously very, very similar to that waterfall and that flame, right? We recognize each other by our form, but everything that makes us up has moved downstream, right? It's gone down.

And of course, this underscores that idea of impermanence. And for me, it's always very helpful to to look at it through kind of the modern, hard, empirical Western lens, because that's a way that I can understand it. Like, oh yeah, you know, I ate some carbohydrates and that got absorbed in my, through my small intestine into my bloodstream as glucose.

And that glucose got broken down into pyruvate through this process of glycolysis. And my Whatever, my mitochondria turned it into ATP and it's like constructing and destructing and nonstop all the time. I can't even keep my wits on it because it's happening so organically. I think that again, this is like waking up to the transience of what it is to be alive.

get at, I guess, what I might call the ultimate target of a spiritual life, which is freedom from the fear of death. Knowing that I am this intelligence animated for a certain period of time that I am this link in a continuous chain of captured sunlight and that Life as I know it, as circumscribed by these five senses, will be rounded with an ultimate sleep.
