“The cup is already broken.”

The story is told different ways in a few different places.

The idea is this: nothing is permanent. When we acknowledge this — indeed, confront it — every moment is more precious.

Rather than life becoming a lamentation of all that will eventually be lost, it’s a celebration and appreciation of what is now.

We have this moment. This moment. With certainty, things will pass. But for now, here we are. Hold it tenderly while it’s here and let it go as it goes. After all, the cup is already broken.
