And that’s the paradox right? So crazy how mindfulness/Buddhism constantly repeat that “all is perfect as is”. William Irvine does a beautiful piece on “regaining your sense of awe”; just like you said, the beauty of a child’s laughter, sun on your face…bathing and laughing with my little boy. Really beautiful. Thank you for the reminder and for giving me more to be grateful for.
Enjoyed this read it reminded me of this passage found in Ecclesiastes-Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. It’s teaches me to enjoy the moment by focusing on the journey not the destination.
This moment is always enough, whether it be joyous or painful. The point is not so much to enjoy or hurt in the moment, but to realize it is the only moment on the continuum of life that matters.
On and off and on again in life I've had a 'moment' a 'transcendence' where (externally) I've seen that 'life is perfect' as it is, with all its flaws. Then the moment passes ... but the satisfaction remains. This last year, for the first time, (in the final 4% of life), twice now I've had a 'moment' of (internal) bliss, glowing from the inside. It was so powerful. Maybe it comes from the AI-collaboration on our art book: Substack.com/@thebookofmarvels
