The clouds come and go,
providing a rest for all
the moon viewers (Basho)
____________
This is very common, watching the night sky and the moon playing hide and seek with us, one moment hidden, the next breaking into a wide luminous eye. I see you. How boring if there were no clouds, no hide and seek. How boring if the sky was every clear and the moon always full and bright. Perfection, while longed for, is not sustainable. We would have to create clouds, hide and seek, if there were none. We would have to create the devil if there was none.
There is no awakening without a sleep. There is no enlightenment without ignorance. God’s only game is hide and seek.
