What Lies Beneath
In this world we walk on the roof of hell, gazing at flowers.
The flowers are real. So is the hell. Issa knew that attention does not require ignorance of suffering; it requires a steadiness that holds both. This morning, you might notice how a single breath contains the weight of everything you carry and the lightness of simply being alive. Not as escape. As clarity. The flowers do not erase the darkness below. They grow there anyway.
Question for today
What small, true thing can you actually see today without needing it to mean something larger?
Practice
Before you check your phone, pause and scan your body from your feet to your head. Notice what is tight, what is loose, what is simply there.
