The Beauty Of It All
When you are in a conflict
Between doing this or that
In your view
The light is outside of you
But the truth is that the light
Is in you
You are the light
And the conflict
Is a beautiful thing
Happening inside of you.
The mistake that we make
Is identifying with things
And not with what they appear in
What sees them
And what plays with them.
So when you start identifying
With the true you
The infinite
It is not important any more
Which side is right
And which one is wrong
What becomes significant
Is the beauty of it all
And the ability to change it
At will.
I used to be a graphic designer and an illustrator. I became involved with the Chan Meditation Center and studied meditation and Buddhist knowledge with the late Master Sheng-yen from Taiwan. For twelve years I was in a process of deepening my meditation. I had many more experiences and insights and my life changed. After having illustrated more than 40 children’s books and writing two of them, I left this career too and went to New York University to study art therapy.
