Nothing Is What It Seems

Starfish squash

Knowledge is the lens that gives us the best chance to see what is true.

Without constant study, we roam this world with blinders on-- usually judging and hating everything we bump into.

Tomorrow's Harvest

A single thought can become tomorrow's harvest.

The mind operates by visualizing.  SEE first what you want, then do not let your thoughts stray from that image.

Contrasts

Nothing exists in itself.   -Herman Melville

Without the gray of the rock, we can't really appreciate the color of the flower. 

Without the rock's impenetrable hardness, we don't know how delicate the flower is. 

Judge less the things you don't understand and let them show you greater beauty in what you do understand.

The Eternal

Sometimes we get a sense of the eternal and that makes our petty ruminations seem pointless.

Sensing the eternal is not only different for everyone, it also never appears to us in exactly the same way each time. 

So move with confidence when you feel those running chills that your experience is as valid as what you read about in books-- because it is!

The Seeker

We travel, some of us forever, to see other states, other
lives, other souls.  -Anais Nin

Then we realize there is no need to travel anywhere--as all is inside us.

Old Assumptions

Begin challenging your own assumptions...your windows on the world.  Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won't come in.  -Alan Alda

Embrace today with new eyes to see the same thing differently.

Individuality

I think we have a right to change course. But society is the one that keeps demanding we fit in and not disturb things.
