Reality

"Do not pray for life to turn out a certain way.  Instead learn from the way life already is.   Everyday events are messages about reality.   Trust in these messages.   They are an accurate description of what came before and what to do next.   Don't fight with reality.  Don't defend against it.  Rather read it like you would a newspaper.   Read everything that happens to you and to others as pertinent news and the reality of being human, of being you."   Chogyam  Trungpa  (Pema Chondron's Teacher)
