It’s hard to truly make sense of the world of creation and its vast sea of phenomena.

Every day is filled with moments that arise, stay for a while, and pass. People, places, and things — all come and go.

What is going on here?

You simply can’t know. Not with your brain.

Thus, it is really best not to think about it too hard. Why is this happening to me? What’s that about? Is it going to be OK? How am I going to do_______?

Our minds are acute operators. They tell you to turn left when you need to.

When it comes to more macro, or big-picture forms of navigating, we have to let go of control.

Of course, “you” can’t really let go of control because you don’t have it to begin with.

To let go of control means, really, just that. We learn this, typically, through adversity or unexpected happenings that meaningfully alter the course of life.

Something larger than the thoughts our mind produces is in control. Poet after poet, sage after sage, artist after artist down through the ages have tried to describe It.

All essentially say: It is the great unknowable. And yet, known. It’s on display everywhere.

Then, really, it becomes a practice of trusting things as they are. Not dismissing, but consciously ignoring the thoughts, and going ahead anyway with what you feel is right.

Yearn for truth, and you will begin to know it. Internally. Cellularly, not with your mind.

Those steeped in truth tend to be quiet. It fills them up, making speech a tool to be used when necessary, if at all.

You can get lost in the world of phenomena. This we do want to be careful of.

So, keeping open to the Mystery becomes important. Always reserve a little time to behold the spectacles of Mother Nature. You find It working there. 🐼
