Stand back & let it be

Stand back.  Notice you have an expanding capacity to meet whatever arises.  Be aware in this moment. Watch what happens as you let the world into your heart.  There is nothing to fix inside.  Being kind and gentle allows you to be peaceful at this moment. 

Ultimately, external circumstances are irrelevant.  Want nothing.  Be content as you are.  All problems vanish. You finally know how the mind works.  That which knows is the passive mind. The active mind is the doer. Most mental energy goes to the doer unless you shift to the knower. Notice the renewing power of stillness. Meditation restrains the doer.  Let things be.  Mental energy starts going into mindfulness.

"A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men." -Roald Dahl 

What is Balance?

Balance is forever present, yet people often find themselves believing they must chase it. Slow down. Stop even. Watch the mind going in circles. Let go of beliefs that have you side-tracked. What is permanent is an innate state unaffected by worry.

To paraphrase the poet Kalhil Gibran,

Without the energy of Hate, we don't understand the full energy of Love.
Without Sadness we don't understand the full energy of Happiness.
Without Evil we don't understand the full energy of Good.
Without Chaos we don't understand the full energy of Peace.
