Thoughts As Clouds

I remember getting upset at points in my life because I wasn’t living the life I thought I should be living.

At some point it changed. I realized being upset didn’t matter, it didn’t change a thing besides my current mood. I realized that the thought of how I should be living was just that, a thought. It was a thought formed from other thoughts which constructed my framework of reality, in another words how I saw the world. None of which was real, it was all just clouds of thought, floating by.

I then realized, THIS IS my life. THIS was as good as it could be now. If I wanted better, how could I get to that relation with life going forward from right now?

One way to get there was to get out of my mind’s ideas and thoughts of what should be and start to see what is currently presenting itself. A stripping away of what I had learned to cloth the world in and be with just the world as it is.

Is there really any other way other than right now and right here? This is not likely, given the circumstances of life that led us up to current time and place of right now.

Right now, all we can do is as we are doing. Any other way is neither here nor now, rather it’s just an idea of here and now. Just thoughts. Just clouds. Not real and tangible.

Moving forward from this moment can be possible, having learned from just now. And right now can contradict what came before as soon as we see that there can be another way.

What brought us to now was not wrong nor right, it simply was. If we are on the “wrong” path and this leads us to the “right” path then the wrong path was actually right. Learning that our previous ideas may have faults allows us to see that the faults were not faults, rather steps needed to get to here today.

And here today is a great place to be. 😊 ❤️ 🙏🏻
