There are times when you look at the sky, try to comprehend the size of stars, the distance that separates us from a possibly intelligent life-form, these facts belittle our existence. It's in this little world that we thrive. Struggle hard to get where we want to. We learn and keep moving forward.
Over the course of time, some bad experiences leave us bitter. Some things shock us, scar us for life, change our point of view or make us a completely new person. Traveling is useful. It shows you the way people live. It's how you would be if you were born and raised in a different part. That also gives you a reflection of what you are because of where you grew up. By that, I don't mean a geographic location. I mean the worlds you were exposed to. I grew up on the internet like many others around the world. Due to which, I have more in common with some guy living in Tunisia than I have with my offline neighbors.
What separates us humans from each other are the choices we make, the different ways we look at the same things, the way we picture an ideal world and many more things. It all comes down to choice. The other side of the coin is circumstance. Circumstances affect choices and choices affect circumstances. You are where you are because of what you did yesterday (circumstance). You did what you did yesterday because of what was practically possible yesterday (choice). Thanks to yesterday's choice you have today's circumstance. This affects your choice, today.
Some times, some people can be really inconsiderate. It pissed me off how less they thought of others. Hell, I might even be one of them! That was my moment of clarity. They are doing what they are doing because of the circumstances they are put into.
It's a loop. So here I was wondering, how can I make better decisions? (which would result into better circumstances and choices) What can get me thinking in the right way? That's when I found out about Ensou.
EnsÅ symbolizes a moment when the mind is free to simply let the body/spirit create. The brushed ink of the circle is usually done on silk or rice paper in one movement and there is no possibility of modification: it shows the expressive movement of the spirit at that time.
The moment of absolute expression. The moment when you can truly express your subconscious without anything shrouding the thought process. The moment where you can make the right choice for your desired circumstance. Now I know this sounds very much like Master Shifu from Kung Fu Panda but with distractions, it is difficult to think and express clearly. As he and Master Oogway once said, you need Inner Peace.
Bottom line being, accept the universe for what it is. Harness its flow. Don't hold onto grudges. Feed the white wolf instead. Overwrite destructive thoughts with constructive solutions.
