Rocks and equality

It’s just rocks…it could be rocks at the top of a mountain, on a beach, in the desert or something the human mind has labelled as a ‘ruin’.

We marvel at the ruin of a temple and recount in our mind as we ‘look’ at the rocks.

However, if you remove the story, they are the same rocks as the mountain, beach or desert.

The same with people, remove our story, aka judgement, of them in our minds, everyone becomes equal.

The story we tell

The story you tell yourself every day, you know the repeating one in your head that goes over and over the same story, how is that working out for you?

Is it bringing you joy, peace and calm?

Or does it bring self-doubt, issues with your sense of worth, a lack of confidence, a comparison to others, judgement, anger, frustration? Does it stop you from enjoying the present moment? Does it project you into a future where everything will be ok? Does it constantly refer to the past?

If it isn’t serving you presence, peace and joy, then, perhaps it is time to stop listening to the story the mind has created for you and just enjoy this moment.
