Searching

Everyone is searching. Searching, searching, searching for a sense of the miraculous. In our zealous search for happiness, we pass it by. But it is there to be found, in everyday moments. We have only to see it true. To recognize that life itself IS the miracle.

It is easy to say "see life true." But this is much more difficult than it sounds, as our lives have become distractions. We surround ourselves, and not always unconsciously, by illusions and phantasms. Anything and everything except that which is true and real. Because we are afraid of that awful truth: that we are impermanent. It is human nature to fear change, yet conquering that fear, mastering it, is the only path to understanding.

Everyday, every single day, make sure to be present. Stop and separate truth from illusion. Find that singular moment of stillness and clarity. Appreciate the beauty that surrounds you, always.

Live life as it is, not as it once was or could someday become, but as it truly is. In this, the miracle of life is revealed.
