Beloveds, there is perfection in the world, and the perfection is love, the love that just is without fanfare, the love that fulfills your heart. It is just there. It isn't a big promotion. It's just quietly there. It always is. There is never a minute that it is not.

Yet this perfection is not often seen by the naked eye. Instead, confusion takes the spotlight. What does an experience mean, you wonder. How did this happen, you wonder. What a mess of confusion everything is, you feel.

Sometimes it is hard to see right side up.

If you find yourself at a plateau, rest for a while. Be glad you have reached where you are and can stay a moment. You have been in a great hurry to rise, and now you can take a respite, sit down, smoke your pipe and enjoy where you are.

You have had many lessons in life, for life does teach you. No need to reflect on the lessons you have learned. Once learned, you don't need them. Certainly, once you have learned something, you don't need to study it.

Welcome a plateau like a park bench. The same way, don't mind when you have to get up from it.
