POST 658 (DAY 669, Thursday, 2022.06.09)
[Morning Entry]

…… grateful for clarity.. there’s something that arrives when different questions are explored.. being stuck at the same baffling question can be frustrating or even overwhelming.. “is this ever going to..?” This is perhaps just an expression, but it’s a bit rhetorical.. though hope may come if answer is “yes”; or despair if answer is “no”.. clarity needs a more specific question.. “how..? Clarity needs to know that I’m open to the actual answer, and willing to do the work.. it typically doesn’t respond to doing donuts in the parking lot (or spinning out my wheels repeatedly).. it arrives in the stillness..
.. reminder to self—seek stillness before seeking clarity..

…… grateful for simplicity.. the idea of comfort I widely purchased by the masses.. or maybe it was just me for a long time.. grasping for a false dream, because I didn’t actually know my dream.. but I had just forgotten my dream.. that wish that my heart makes.. was not comfort at all (comfort brought more discomfort somehow).. rather it was simplicity
