Has your life changed much after the last 4 years?

[sanatanadharma]

12. Not the same life at all; only I remain unchanged

Living 6000 miles away
Different culture, society, seasons
Different language
At 75 years I am now, like a child, needing others to make my needs known
As a vegetarian in the land of asado, I no longer go to restaurants
My money is more valuable but is spent in a different currency
I avoid (as I can) "aglomeraciones" so no movies or 'carnival'
No TV but I sit and see the sea

I am unchanged, the constant witness of life's changes.
I am the one within who has never been absent nor other than the one I am.
The body changes, desires change, abilities change, interests, activities, place;friends, family, neighbors change.
The world around, from my body outward, changes.
I remain the 'conscious-being-changless' center of all.
