Brilliant post! This immediately reminded me of the Buddhist monks' colorful mandala. They spend hours working together to create intricate designs out of colored sand, then they wash it away soon after they finish. This is a reminder of the doctrine of impermanence, which they call "annica".

Hey @poimenpost! I am big fan of secular Buddhism, so I definitely picked up on the principles surrounding impermanence from Buddhist philosophy. And yes! I have heard of that sand art that they immediately mess up. It is a very powerful metaphor. Thanks for commenting.
