☝️The thing that's interesting though, is it is training some non-attachment (not that don't still grumble).
The constant flips between such different states of being: one managing a suffering creature through a hard day, the other has personhood and hope with the ability to interact with others and solve problems, are effective lessons in impermanence.
It helps me feel less like things are being snatched away from me, and more like I am oscillating between states on the cusp of change.
