Clear seeing

"People express the feeling of being lost in a fog,

 but that which recognizes the fog

 is the ever-present clear seeing. It is that simple."

 

                                                 -John Wheeler

 

 

 

 

 

You do not need to travel far

to be what you already are

Neither thinking

nor practise

takes you here

Only clear seeing

that you always are

the brilliance of Being

An absolute gem, my friend :-)
This piece moves me, for I know what it is to feel 'lost in a fog'. Yet the self-knowledge implied in recognising this state is indeed to be 'found', with sheer clarity of vision shining through the clouds. Or something.
Applause!
