Everything comes and everything goes.

Everything comes sometimes and always goes.

Do you remember that sometimes?

Does this memory come to you sometimes?

Remember too that this memory always goes.

Joys come, and sorrows, the fat years and the lean.

Nightmares come, and successes, crises and calms.

Societies come, and governments, revolutions and cataclysms.

Beliefs come, and loyalties, betrayals and frustrations.

Incarnations come, and prayers, illuminations and reunions.

The awareness comes that everything goes, that this is why everything comes.

And then everything goes.

And what is it here that watches everything that comes and everything that goes?

What always remains here?
