I came here seeking enlightenment. And every time I think I understand, I get confused. It's so frustrating…

It's your nature to avoid enlightenment.

You love knowing, but you don't yet love not knowing.

The water is beautiful as we walk along this stream. Or is it the course of the stream, or the sound of the water, or the clear fresh air that surrounds us as we listen? I cannot quite find the center of this beauty...

Where and what is it?

All we sense, and more than we can ever gather. Beauty seems to be just past our gaining, and at its most beautiful when our need to gain it evaporates - when we give up.

Finding is gaining.

Deep knowing comes from the perception of beauty. Within the sacred choir song, the soft touch and full lips, the vibrant portrait, the soaring poem, the deepest kindness... Beauty even within the horror of our own death.

The promise of beauty is all that it seems.
