Imagine there is the most beautiful flower — such beauty, beyond even the concept of beauty. Its petals full, richly coloured the most magnificent shade. Its bloom a delight, whether budding or in full blossom. Its fragrance divine, sweet and wholehearted.
Upon the flower, there sits a fly.
Instead of seeing what is already perfect, the mind — overlooking the obvious — fixates upon the fly. With its projected interpretation of what perfection looks like, of what beauty ‘should be‘, it sets about obsessing as to how to make this fly go away. Running in circles as it figures out ways to get it to disappear Making up stories as to why it shouldn’t be there. Aggravated by its presence. Consumed with its every movement.
Drop being so interested in the fly.
Drop being so bothered by the movements of the mind that obsess about what is perceived to be ‘out there‘ ………………… and rest here.
For YOU ARE, already that which is timelessly perfect.
