Find a quiet and comfortable space, allowing yourself a few moments of stillness.

Close your eyes and take deep, intentional breaths to center your mind. In this meditation.

Picture in your mind's eye a majestic river—the river of existence. See its currents rushing with the ceaseless flow of moments, events, and experiences.

Observe the constant motion, acknowledging that life itself is an ever-changing river.

Contemplate Time as a powerful and relentless torrent within this river. Recognize that each moment is a fleeting entity, swiftly passing through the torrent of Time. Understand that, just like the river, Time is both a force of nature and an integral part of the cosmic order.

As you observe the scenes along the riverbanks of existence, realize that the moment you behold something, it has already become a part of the past.

Reflect on the impermanence of what the eye captures.

Release the need for permanence and find peace in the fluidity of existence.

Allow the river to carry away the seen, knowing that clinging to any moment is akin to trying to grasp water; and find excitement in the anticipation of the unknown that approaches.

Accept the transient nature of life with grace and resilience. Let the understanding of impermanence become a source of strength, allowing you to navigate the river with a calm and composed spirit.

As you conclude this meditation, embrace the wisdom that, like the Stoics of old, you can find serenity not in resisting the torrent of Time, but in flowing with its current.

As you gently open your eyes and return to the present moment, say hello to existence with a newfound awareness.

Take care my friend, and may the tranquility you've cultivated stay with you as you navigate your day.
