My words don’t seem to want to come me out and play with me these days, so I thought I would just quote someone else. This quote seems particularly apropos during early spring, when the light and sound are so apparent.
“The mountains, rivers, earth, grasses, trees and forest are always emanating a subtle precious light, day and night, always emanating a subtle precious sound, demonstrating and expounding to all people the unsurpassed ultimate truth. It is just because you miss it right where you are, or avoid it even if you face it, that you are unable to attain actual use of it.”

Impactful view, Nadia.

I thought so, too. A friend shared it with me last night. It was good to be reminded that we are surrounded by this ethereal light and sound that is always ours if we just acknowledge it.

You may have only quoted another but we must always remember the power a good quotation can have 🙂

Yeah. I did that a few days ago, and called the post “Effable” just to make it seem like I had something to say. 🙂

I would hope that Master Chan looked beyond flora and fauna to seek Ultimate Truth in the Human Mindbody, where it ultimately is revealed and resides.
