There is an incredible and immense beauty to life. From a bird, to a flower, to a rock buried in a stream. In movement, vibrancy, or stillness, all that we need to learn surrounds and penetrates all of us. There is nowhere to go find peace, as freedom and enlightenment are already here. It is everywhere.
But we do not know how to look.
And how is one to look? To really see is to be non-interpretive. The thing, whatever it happens to be, is seen, but there are no conclusions; no voice nudging and convincing us that there is something wrong or something different.
No fear is found here. Trying to make it happen is hilarious to me. I try my best, projecting thoughts to awaken fear, but it is all so silly. I have to smile, because it is just a dream. It is something that can never touch this organism.
This beauty is not born out of comparison. It is not something that is known because we compare it to something we find ugly. Beauty exists for everyone on this side of the curtain. It is a natural extension of life; the breath of the universe. As the lungs breathe air, beauty breathes life and life breathes beauty.
There is no need to take it, as you already have it. Do whatever you do, and that beauty is there. Just don’t expect any outcome to seeing. The eyes are sensory organs and nothing more. Use those organs and forget about everything else. Your mind cannot compare to the living beauty that surrounds you.
Find the beauty that is breathed each and every moment. It is always there.

Hey Takuin
Was just wondering what happened to your relationships part 2 post.
Was curious what your thoughts would be on love and attracting the perfect mate. If you even believed in the idea of a ideal match and how one finds it or lets it find it.
Would be great if you reply or write the post. New perspective broaden the horizon of the mind and was hoping what you had to say may be interesting ideas to play with.
Write me an email, if you don’t mind and you aren’t writing the post.
Thank u so much
sorry that was
‘or lets it find us’ .

Hi Takuin
Beautiful writing. I find this more authentic than reading buddhist writings. Its ironic that when i try to appreciate something, ANYTHING, it seems to elude me. I tell myself there and then I SHOULD be mindful and I SHOULD listen, but the thoughts just swirl in my mind, and the moment has come and gone.
Keep up the good work and I will continue my exploration of this site.

Thanks Beng. I appreciate your words.
Being mindful is not about what we think should be, but rather, what is actually happening. I think you know what I am saying.
It is not “I should be listening,” but not listening is there. It is just happening.
Thanks for stopping by this site. I am glad that you have found value here.
