The cycle of expectation and disappointment is like the rising and falling of a wave in search of the ocean. The expectation appears in and is made out of the very stuff for which it seeks. When the mind takes off towards an object in another wave of hope or expectation, don’t crush it through discipline. Just face it with the mirror of understanding and allow the wave of expectation to come to rest in the ocean of awareness.
Rupert Spira
He who binds to himself a joy
William Blake
Does the winged life destroy
He who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity’s sunrise
