LIfe is Remarkably imperfect. With mindfulness as our guide, we explore the wandering mind, the nature of presence, and the transformative power of intentional kindness and love. Through poetic insights and moments of stillness, discover the essence of anicca—impermanence—and awaken to the present moment, celebrating life's imperfections and mysteries.

Join Robert Beatty as he explores the truth of Anicca, or Impermanence beginning by a musical rendition of Jennifer Wellwood's poem the Dakini Speaks. Music by Saffire Bouchelion. This concept of anicca is central to the teachings of the Buddha. Ever since the moment of the Big Bang there has been nothing but change. Most of our unnecessary suffering arises because we cling to things as they are and hope they will not change.

A journey through meditation, self-awareness, and love, this episode invites you to relinquish the rigidity of clinging and to open your heart to a world of continuous transformation and profound contentment. Let us awaken together to the dance of life, celebrating each moment with presence and equanimity.
