Indifference, the problem of the solution, a dancer, an answer, and crossing over

***

The cup is half full, and half empty.

It’s always getting lighter or darker.

It’s like how you don’t get attached to the armful of wood you have brought in for burning.

It’s the difference between turning the music up because it is too low, or turning it down because it is too high- and yet reaching the same volume. That is the in-difference.

The out reflects the in.

Like attracts like.

To find the solution, remove the problem.

The dancer looks not forward to the next beat, the outcome, or the world. The dancer dances.

Allow for the changeless and the changing, if you would expose the essence in the form.

All that you think and do is witnessed, always.

Every problem has a solution, but usually not the one desired, and that is the problem.

The answer only solves a problem which is not a problem.

When crossing a teetering bridge you do not stop, nor doubt, nor look about, you cross over.
