In moments of true contemplation, we let go of wanting or changing anything. We release our usual demands, judgments, and ambitions. We simply rest in awareness, face to face with life as it is. In that contemplative awareness, our own egoic grasping in time comes momentarily to rest. When we encounter something truly beautiful—whether a person, a place, or a piece of art—our mind quiets, and we come to rest. There is no need to possess, alter, or escape it. We’re fully present, completely available to witness it, and in that pure seeing, we become whole.
Imagine standing in the presence of such beauty radiating from everything in the world around you. Every object, person, and moment emanates this silent beauty. It doesn’t demand your attention; it invites you to simply see it. That all-pervading Beauty is not an exercise in creative imagination; it is the actual structure of the universe. When we learn to see with clear eyes and a quiet mind, beauty is everywhere. Life’s original face, untouched and fully alive, is waiting for you to behold it. If the doors of perception are cleansed, the entire Kosmos is your lost and found Beloved, the Original Face of primordial Beauty. And in that seeing, you are free. Free to experience life fully and rest in the wonder of simply being.
We let go of wanting....and live in awareness. Pure gift.
