You have summed up my own belief here. However I do believe there is a "what". There is a practicality to my practice, a what, a path, a course of action. "Right Action" is part of the Eight-fold Path (my own Buddhist practice) and there's nothing wrong with being practical when finding a what you can relate to and follow, especially if it brings you close to understanding sobriety, and better yet, your true nature.

But I do think you and I are bordering semantics and are about to get into physics here. We've got to be careful not to move into duality with this. I think we can settle on the fact we both agree on impermanence and how important that is for us to consider in our path to sobriety.

Be well.
