WITH EYES UNCLOUDED BY LONGING

In my readings this morning a phrase from the Tao te Ching, "with eyes unclouded by longing," spoke to me, and I knew that was what I need to seek. That thought brought me a blinding flash of the obvious: To seek eyes unclouded by longing is an oxymoron.

To seek self-determined objectives equals that first drink to an alcoholic, resulting in a never-ending thirst. The sought after becomes unattainable and the desire becomes insatiable, our only focus and thus our only God.

Stand still and acknowledge: I AM that which I am seeking.

Thank You.
