Artists see beauty.
I am not losing anything. I’ve gained a very deep connection with two of the most beautiful beings I’ve encountered. All experience is precious. We delude ourselves from the present by the made-up cloud of either past or future.
Seeing things as they are without attaching labels.
“Once you have succeeded in freeing yourself from such attachment, the perception of the illusion-like nature of reality will automatically arise. Whenever things appear to you, although they appear to have an independent or objective existence, you will know as a result of your meditation that this is not really the case. You will be aware that things are not as substantial and solid as they seem. The term ‘illusion’ therefore points to the disparity between how you perceive things and how they really are.”
-His Holiness the Dalai Lama
