Back "Zen"

Often we truly think we've been on the path of straight and narrow. We believe we've set our compass and that any deviation will alter our journey. But as we've read so many times, (and I truly hate to be redundant or use risky platitudes) it's not the destination, it's the journey. We don't look at all the abundant and magnificent "layers" that are presented to us.


Take this particular image for example. There are several "layers" to it. There appears to be water droplets in the foreground, with some kind of foliage, possibly a lake or water in the background, with possibly a path. Can we pull off one of the layers to reveal something more fascinating or intriguing beyond the droplets? And once that layer is unmasked, what are we looking at now? Are we going to let one layer beset another? Our lives are often that way. We're on that "journey", we've set our course or compass and we encounter a multi layered life's event. Is this one of those magnificent layers that we must embrace lest we let it shrink away? Once we've understood why that particular event has occurred (and only we can answer this) cherish it, it has appeared for a reason. It could very well be a reconnect to something that we let go of many years ago.
