I've just a read a blog by a very nice lady on her thoughts regarding impermanence and the thing that stood out most to me was the fact that she was looking at impermanence from a purely physical standpoint. She was very concerned about her wrinkles and her weight and she was trying very hard to accept that these things are impermanence and that this is what our bodies do.
She didn't seem to really understand that impermanence is happening to us at the most base cellular level, at a spiritual level - every part of our being. I'm sure she will understand better if she thought about it a bit longer and past the ageing aspects.
I think impermanence is definitely easier to accept as a cellular and a spiritual thing......a growth tool if you will.
