The Beauty That Is Already Here
La Belleza Que Ya Está Aquí
An invitation to notice that beauty and love are already present in every moment, even in discomfort, without needing to change anything.
The Beauty That Is Already Here
We were chasing an experience,
those moments we love.
A delicious meal, a conversation,
those moments that reflect the sense of beauty and enjoyment.
We crave more.
One simple misunderstanding
It's one simple thing.
One simple misunderstanding:
that the beauty is in the moment, in the particular experience.
Hear the proposition, the suggestion,
that the beauty is in every moment, no matter what is happening.
No matter how intense the fear, the pain, the contraction,
no matter how crazy the mind gets.
If you could trust enough to consider the possibility
that this beauty, this love,
is always present in everything, right here, right now.
Letting everything be here
The sensations and the softness and the contraction,
the images, the lights, the sounds.
Silence.
The thoughts.
The discomfort and the frustration, the resistance.
What if nothing needed to change?
No need to learn to love, just discover the love that is here.
No need to learn to accept, to work to accept.
Discover the acceptance that is here.
Finding one beautiful thing
Find one thing right now that is beautiful.
A sound, a sensation, something that reflects aliveness.
Beingness. The color of skin. Sensations. One thing.
At every moment, that is easy.
Looking where you don't find it
Now look at where you don't find the beauty,
where there is a no, a "this shouldn't be."
A piece of thought, contraction, fear about a current life situation, an idea about the world.
Let the beauty come into everything.
The wonder, the love that you know,
it's nowhere else.
Always here.
This is a miracle.
Our miracle.
Sensations, a divine gift.
All sensations.
Let it all be.
