Today, I hesitated as I approached this Facebook post. The news is a confusing, mixed, mish-mosh of description, interpretations and opinions. Are we moving forward beyond the Pandemic, or are we at a standstill, or are we regressing into new and dark surges? It seems to depend right now on location, the prevalence of variants, politics and of course, unknown/undiscovered factors. So I decided to randomly pickup a book for another source of inspiration. (In a world of synchronicity, is there such a thing as randomness?) I opened a text, published in 1980, "A Buddhist Spectrum: Contributions to Buddhist-Christian Dialogue, by Marco Pallis. My eye landed on this passage, pg. 89) "...Buddhas are normally shown as seated upon a lotus, that serene flower resting on the waters of possibility and thereby evocative of the nature of things...". That one phrase was enough, "resting on the waters of possibility and thereby evocative of the nature of things..." The world, life itself is a continual creative process. Every situation, every event is the flowing water of possibility. Can we "rest" on the waters of the creative, cultivate the serenity latent within ourselves, wait until the nature of the thing, the way, the highest and best possibility reveals itself? The waters of positive possibilities are everywhere. Begin just where you are right now, the parameters of your day, your "world". It's the perfect time to affirm the Good, arising now.
