Teo has recommended reading
"No Boundary" by: Ken Wilber.

Here is an interesting paragraph from the book:

~So the only thing a person fundamentally wants
is unity consciousness, the only thing she is ever doing is resisting it. We are always looking for unity consciousness, but in a way that always prevents the discovery: we look for unity consciousness by moving away from the present. We imagine that somehow the present is not quite right, and hence we will not globally rest in this present, but start instead to
move away from it toward what we imagine will be a new and better present. We begin, in other words, to wave-jump. We begin moving in a space and time to secure for ourselves an ultimate wave, the wave that will finally quench our thirst, that will finally give us "wetness." Looking for wetness on the next wave of experience, we always miss it on our present wave. To search forever is to miss it forever.

--------------------
To find happiness is to
stay on and enjoy the
present wave.

Big Grin Dear Inda,
I've made note of this -- especially riding the wave. Reminds me of watching the surfers in California -- they are so happy to catch a big wave and ride it all the way in. Sometimes they wipe out and flip into the ocean. One of my favorite waves is friendship -- sharing the good stuff.
Blessings be...

I missed this very early post.
Let us enjoy the present. These may be the best times.
