This week, Andrew explores why life can feel like the same week repeating over and over, always telling ourselves, “After this, things will slow down.” Drawing on Buddhist teachings on samsara, he looks at how modern clock time fuels urgency, productivity, and endless becoming, keeping us caught in familiar cycles of stress and postponement. Rather than teaching us how to get more time, the Buddha pointed to a way of releasing the heart from time’s pressure and touching a freedom that is available here and now.
