Shrinking Puddle

Imagine that you are walking in a park after a heavy rain, and you see a large puddle of water on the ground. Initially, you might see the puddle as a solid, permanent object with a clear form and identity. However, as time passes and the sun comes out, you see that the puddle is shrinking., What was once a large and defined object is now becoming smaller and less defined., If you were to observe the shrinking puddle closely, you would see that it is not a fixed or permanent object. It is constantly changing and dependent on various conditions for its existence., The suns heat causes the water to evaporate and the process of evaporation contributes to the puddle shrinking even further. If you were to examine the puddle closely enough, you would see that it is not a single entity at all, but a collection of water molecules that are constantly in motion., This awareness of emptiness can help you see the world around you in a different light. By recognizing that all phenomena are empty of inherent existence and are dependent on various conditions, you can let go of fixed ideas and identities that lead to attachment, and this can lead to a greater sense of wisdom and compassion in your life.
