Pen & ink illustration of a famous fable told by the Buddha.
It's amazing what the mind can see and do. Try this experiment, look around the room what do you see? Now look around that same room and don't look at the thing that is red! What was obvious to you? The red item that wasn't there before right?. Well in life sometimes we focus on the things we don't want. Like worrying over something that could or might happen. Inevitably that's what comes into our life.
This week let's try an experiment. Focus on the good you want in your life for the week. Don't worry if old habits creep back in, just smile and think of the good. At the end of the week see if it's made a difference for you. Has anything changed? Let me know what has happened.
By the way, the illustration above was a recent "graphic novel" type drawing that I did. It was an illustrated version of a story told by the Buddha, "The Hare on the Moon". It has a wonderful moral to it. Take a moment to read it. Next time your out at night look for the moon and see if you can find the hare on it. I bet you you'll never look at the moon the same again. Or for that matter what you want to invite into your day to day life. Enjoy.
