Something to think about...thx skygypsy
What Is The Point?
So what is the point of waiting? What exactly are you waiting for? Is somebody
going to give you what you always wanted? Will a train come from Heaven bringing
you goodies? But nothing that could ever happen could be as good, as precious, as
who you are. What stops you from being, from being present, is nothing but your
hope for the future. Hoping for something to be different keeps you looking for
some future fantasy. But it is a mirage; you'll never get there. The mirage stops
you from seeing the obvious, the preciousness of Being. It is a great distortion, a
great misunderstanding of what will fulfill you. When you follow the mirage, you are
rejecting yourself.
