Impermanence - Pali - अनिच्चा anicca; Sanskrit: अनित्य anitya
Recently was at a 10 Day Vipassana Meditation camp here in Massachusetts. In this post I am not talking about the details of what this meditation process is, as this info can be found in detail here - Vipassana (link)
The One thing that I learned on a personal level is the notion of Impermanence (Anicca) existing in
-the world we live in,
-the desires and aversions
-the joys and sorrows,
-the pains and sufferings,
-the physical existence
-the perceptions and assumptions
All these above mentioned phenomenons and many more are simply creation of our conscious mind - that can be controlled or evaporated by stepping back or concentrating on them - thus realizing that they come and go.
So here are some photographs I have taken over last few years where I have abstracted this concept - hope you like them.
(A performer in a hotel at Matheran - Maharashtra, India)
(Sanyasi playing Mridangam at Nova Gokula - Isckon Temple in Pindamonhangaba - Brazil)
(Stairs at Miller Brewing Company - Milwaukee - Wisoncsin, USA)
(Aluminium factory in Silvassa - Gujarat, India)
(Tunnel in Dubai - UAE)
Again like every phenomenon which is transient - some may remember this post - some may simply forget it - some may like it some may not - that's the TRUE nature of life

@simple r
First off - welcome to the blog and thank you for commenting.....
I see the truth in your statement and cannot argue as to why we try to get meanings out of every situation or thing - why can't we just let it be.
Just from my side - I can assure you I did not even have any kind of pressure to see these things - they simply occur to me - its just comes naturally...guess its the way our minds work - like a piece of art can mean so many things to so many different people - some com mentors here loved the post - few ignored the content and were courteous - you like the content and were honest.....does not that tell you that variety is really spice of life....
beautiful post....thanks for reminding that its all about the perception...
