This is most people’s reality: As soon as something is perceived,
it is named, interpreted, compared with something else,
liked, disliked, or called good or bad by ….the ego.

In the details
The secret of happiness
lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life,
and in elevating them to art.
William Morris, English Designer, 1834 – 1896
Sunday Quote: Perspective
Sometimes one waits too long for the perfect moment before snapping the picture.
You never realize that all you needed was to change perspective.

Our own path
We are not here to fit in, be well-balanced, or provide exempla for others. We are here to be eccentric, different, perhaps strange, perhaps merely to add our small piece, our little clunky, chunky selves, to the great mosaic of being. As the gods intended, we are here to become more and more ourselves.
James Hollis, What Matters Most

A lot of thinking
The concept of beginning and ending is time, produced by thought. Can we see, right now, that beginning and end, getting somewhere, being somebody, wanting to get the something I lack, are all products of the imagination. As long as this isn’t clear, this bodymind remains tied up in knots. Can we see that a thought is always away from this present moment, where time does not exist?
