Expectations is the place you go before you get to where you are going. Some people get lost on route to the land of expectations. Other people arrive there but never leave or get beyond it. When you are not paying attention, notice you develop attachments and focus on where you could be going, what you are becoming. If you focus on this, you forget rare and seldom heard noises and awareness of what is missed. If attachment did not exist, there would be no becoming and you would never be in the land of expectations. See where you get by not thinking. Discover you only think your way out. Explore all that nature is providing. Without it, nothing happens.
"It is simple. We are where we should be, doing what we should be doing. Otherwise we would be somewhere else, doing something else." -Richard Stine
