The Finality of Everything

Lawrence Yeo argues that being aware of each moment's end is the best way to begin again. Drawing on Buddhist impermanence, daily endings (the close of a workday, the last bite of a meal, the conclusion of a conversation), and the inevitable larger finalities ahead, the essay treats endings not as losses but as the precise mechanism by which presence and renewal become possible. Each finality clears the stage; each clearing makes room for what's next. Beautifully illustrated, as is typical of the More To That essays.
