The Best Season of Your Life

"If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things, this is the best season of your life."

-- Wu-Men

What are unnecessary things? Damn near everything we think about! Starting off with fears and worries, running through gossip and painful memories, all the way through beliefs and opinions -- all are unnecessary. And those are just the tip of the iceberg. To put it succinctly, all mind clouds are unnecessary.

And without them what do we have? The Present, Reality, Now. We have this sacred moment, and however it unfolds it is the best season of your life. Until the next moment, which is equally best. Comparisons become unnecessary as well, when each moment is accepted and embraced fully. Without the mind clouds each moment shines with natural luminosity.

Each day is an exercise in alchemical, mental climatology, an exercise in letting go of the clouds and allowing the bright to shine through. Each season, best season. Now and forever. Amen.
