Impermanence

The theme of impermanence is a recurring concern across Matthew Williamson's archive, evident in posts such as Meditation and Mindfulness (2006), Nothing Makes Us Happy (2007), People Change (2007), and Who am I? or Who is me? (2007). In these posts, Williamson grapples with the fleeting nature of thoughts, emotions, and relationships, acknowledging that everything is in a state of flux. The thread of impermanence evolves over time, from his early struggles with meditation and the restless mind, to his later reflections on the transience of friendships and the search for a stable sense of self. Through these posts, Williamson comes to accept that impermanence is an inherent aspect of life, and that it is precisely this impermanence that makes growth, change, and self-inquiry possible.
