stable, for the moment

One of the important pieces of information medical personnel gather, whether assessing a medical or trauma patient is baseline vital signs.
It is imperative to assess each situation and understand the needs of the patient.
Is there a life threatening condition?
Are they stable?

Their vital signs are stable.

We all look for stability, amidst the everchanging and illusive nature of life.
Some call it Maya, which is defined as illusion.
Illusion is everywhere , and yet we all look for stability.Some more than others.
Yet,all we ever have is the moment. And, for now, my mother is stable.
Not in crisis.
So, does this mean it is the calm before the storm, as has been the pattern of so many months now?
Can any of us comfortably reside in the stability of the moment knowing that the very definition of life is change and growth?
For now, in the now.
Now is all we have.
...reminds me of an ol' Beatles tune.
You remember the Beatles, don't you?
