Renewability is valuable. And that's fortunate since that's what we've got -- nothing stays the same, everything changes and renews, and everything provides opportunity for renewal. How horrible it would be if everything was forever stagnant -- maybe that's hell. Working together, relating, bonding are benefits of the process of renewal. I think cultures that work together in building and renewing experience renewal of their own selves and of their community, and I think that is a great gain. My partner and I bought an old house once upon a time and built and renewed it into our office space, and in the process further built and bonded our relationship, in addition to a very alive office, and I look back on the experience with very much fondness. What has helped me to value impermanence is knowing with an ever deepening awareness that everything and everybody is impermanent, impermanence makes for renewal, and I trust and value the process. Getting old helps.
