Rugged dirt path cutting through a high-alpine slope, heading straight for a massive, imposing rock monolith. The contrast of the sharp gray stone against the deep greens and the chaotic, shifting clouds feels massive and isolated.

It's a beautiful #BlueSkyMonday. Spring is knocking on the door this week, and I'm ready for it.

A mountain scene is made extra colorful by the sunset light in Glacier National Park in Montana. Split Mountain appears at the center of this image. Nearby there are young pines and bushes with pink flowers, and one reddish little tree. In the distance the forest is still recovering from a wildfire from years past. The sky is light blue with a few wispy clouds

Tranquility is the absence of discrepancies in the present flow of this moment.

Can you find any discrepencies in it?

Wide coastal scene at dusk with streaked clouds sweeping diagonally across the sky. A narrow band of orange and gold light sits low on the horizon above dark waves. Wet sand in the foreground reflects the skyโ€™s colors in soft horizontal bands. A small headland appears in silhouette at the far right edge.

Right now, only That is present of which there is presently awareness of.

Exclusively That! Nothing else but That.

Thoughts are all just part of it: they are never describing anything that is separate or outside of this moment.
