There is nothing permanent in the universe.
There is no certainty to be found in an impermanent universe.
When a thought is as useful as a tool in your hand, only a fool would
cast it away, or grasp it as if it were made of gold. All tools break
or decay and become useless to fulfil thier original function. A good
workman replaces his tools as necessary. It is his work that is
important.

Impermanence is certainly certain.

Tom, you've been watching too much Star Wars. The mind numbing power
