A Beautiful Life?

If we want to live in a beautiful world
We have to learn how to perceive beauty
Everything being their own thing
and being somewhat equal in emptiness
Why do some phenomena strike us so?

Created, uncreated, real, unreal
We see what we want to see
When we see beauty it is us
When we see ugliness it is us
When we see we see us

We see what we have faith in
Or what we can’t believe
mostly be believe in what we want
but when we learn to see what is
we stop wanting

So, then to live in beauty
make yourself beautiful
caring, joyous, helpful, patient, kind
working hard for others
creating a whole world of perfection

Understanding what you See

We have to perceive something to know it
Without perception there is no knowledge

The world is chaos but our stories make it more
We deny our power to be whole and peaceful beings
Simultaneously using our will make ourselves miserable
All because of the faults of our perception
Not the fault of this world

The world only is
Accepting that we can move forward
With the true stories of our lives
Lives that we write because we know
That living is all that we can do

To understand the world we have to understand the instrument
When it’s finely tuned, it becomes so much more harmonious
