It is not in the pursuit, nor in the active participation that happiness is found. It is a fleeting sunbird’s collection of nectar, and the realization, thus, that the load you bear need not be so heavy. That the wind can carry more in your name, and the soil can anchor your feet. You need not live in the perceived world— but breathe in the world you are in.

Not in the Pursuit
It is not in the pursuit, nor in the active participation that happiness is found. It is a fleeting sunbird’s collection of nectar, and the realization, thus, that the load you bear need not be so heavy. That the wind can carry more in your name, and the soil can anchor your feet. You need not live in the perceived world— but breathe in the world you are in.
