Musings

When I think deeply on the โ€œmundaneโ€ or the โ€œtrivial,โ€ I find that the lessons I take from these supposedly irrelevant phenomena apply to the โ€œgrandioseโ€ and the โ€œmystical.โ€ย ย 

And in this humbling of perception, I experience a leveling of my soul, where I can enjoy the beauty in pain, the sorrow in beauty, andโ€”if there is some order underlying all of existenceโ€”the resonant peace that seems to constantly tell me to enjoy what Iโ€™m doing, and to enjoy whatโ€™s in front of meโ€ฆ

Because it will all fade away soon enough.

    1. Indeed! I find the peril in that term “middle” though, is that some people interpret it as constant moderation. I interpret it as the exhortation by Musashi to “have no preferences,” and have a “middleness of spirit” if you will, because sometimes, extreme action is what’s appropriate. ๐Ÿ™‚
