I realise that one of our greatest shortcomings is or lack of patience, our ability to honestly & openly not only listen to others but to attentively ‘hear’ what is being said, to internalise it, to some degree (based on subject, intensity, interest, etc.) and then reply. Typically we just want a ‘gap’ so we can say what we want to say, cos the world ‘needs’ to hear what I have to say… The wisest and most revered men were better listners than talkers… So listen truthfully and have a little patience!
When I see photos like this I wonder why it is that we crave so diligently things that contradict the beauty so evident! Is it only the lucky few who seek out and live this life where beauty is so innate to one's living who appreciate the levity of their life? We others desire so much 'stuff' that all else is compromised most notably our state of senses, our sense of being, our world so one dimensional that we lose our souls to it's linearity... And in doing so we lose ourselves and the opportunity to appreciate and experience true beauty in the world!
