Seeking vs. Discovery

Consider the distinction between seeking and discovery. Allow this reflection to evoke a deep intuitive feeling of the subjective energy and delight associated with the significant moments of discovery in our lives.

Also consider this beautiful example from Thich Nhat Hanh:

"The moment of awakening may be marked by an outburst of laughter, but this is not the laughter of someone who has won the lottery or some kind of victory. It is the laughter of one who, after searching for something for a long time, suddenly finds it in the pocket of his coat." ~ Thich Nhat Hanh, Zen Keys, p. 44

THIS is the delight of discovery. Every moment in our lives has the innate potential for this energy of realization and recognition.

In fact, the invitation to embrace this experience of discovery is always available to us - - and our restless seeking will not end until we are finally willing to consider the possibility that:

• we are already immersed in an infinite, unfolding process of discovery, and
• everything we experience is an invitation to recognize THIS.

• The Moment of Awakening
• Every Experience Is An Invitation
