Truth

Have you ever looked into the mirror of yourself and seen truth? Today I looked into the mirror and saw it. I told G that we need a full length mirror so that I won't forget what truth looks like.

The Japanese kangi character for truth looks complicated, but is actually very simple. A few brushstrokes this way and that. If you try to make it with "perfection" in mind, then it may be very aggravating to try.

No one is perfect. Today, I looked into a mirror and believed that. I have long been a perfectionist in many things; today I realized that much of my perfectionism is wasted energy. Just that simple realization was energizing.

I wonder what tomorrow will bring?

Things are so much better when they are simple.

Food
Love
reading maps

All better when simple
