All our moods and notions are like falling leaves: as soon as we conceive of them, they blow off somewhere else, giving us a ringside seat at impermanence. From the all-embracing view of eternal BEING this seems like a tragedy, but who told us to posit an eternal viewpoint as the highest one? The Devil told her she should savor the transience. Evidently she considers what the devil says to be good advice. This must be a good devil, who was once an angel.
