Big Picture

It's good to get the big picture. Which may be more than just standing back. The details of this and that tend to move with you just like smoke around a campfire. Without moving, therefore, let your eyes lose their focus and admit the sky, which is a stand-in for the great expanse of mind. With sky in mind, details dissipate like morning fog. There is nothing to do here. Play and work lose their meanings. Whatever happens, rest is at its heart. And spaciousness is its soul. The spacious mind returns to the details and uses them to pick its teeth. Ah.
