A.L.L.O.W. - Appreciate Life - Let Openness Win - R. McDougal/ Isle of View
Accept the reality that right now, things are just what they are. And of course, they will surely change. But if you can ever find the wisdom to allow this moment to be what it is, you can find the silver lining in every situation. This instance is just a momentary reflection of life's passing show. So relax, appreciate it, and enjoy the show. Live in the Tao, & endlessly allow.

Yes, there are diamonds in the rough everywhere. This image is the surface of the side of an old truck. But the color & cloud-like forms are like something out of  an old Buddhist painting.
Yes, if one just changes the way you see, perceive, & truly appreciate the miracle of life, you will fill your life with abundance & shimmering magic.  Slow down & waken to the amazing wonder all around. You only exists right here & now, so stop trying to rush to the next thing, since right now is the only time to be the fulfilled fruit of life.

Simply know yourself...probably the hardly thing in life to do.
And may I suggest, simply know your selflessness. It's great to realize
that the crystal mirror of your own mind reflects everything, but is nothing
at all. Actually, it is empty, luminous, conscious display of your life presenting
itself. You are the sky & everything else is the weather. Mind is your unchanging
magical essence behind it all. So enjoy the show, but don't get entangled in the
passing reflections of life.
