Nothing is perfect, as there is nothing about which to complain. Before and after the now is nothing. Before and after the now must be perfect....

"When I was a kid, God often told me that only people create ugliness." -- Kanako Iiyama   Through the eye of God, the manifestation of God (the now) radiates beauty. Through people's minds, the beauty is often elusive or even made ugly. The mind cannot see, it can only compare. The mind compares the now that's now with the now that's passed and the future now it imagines or desires. Comparisons shroud the now with words; precluding a direct experience of the radiant now. As well, comparisons can make the absolutely beautiful relatively ugly.   The now is perfect; eternally now. Yet, none of the things in the now are perfect as all things are ever-changing; at best, perfect temporarily. Focusing on things, people often complain about imperfections. Complaining is ugly.   Those who know all things in the now are one thing, the manifestation of God, unconditionally love all things as they do themselves. Those who see things as other than themselves, connect to things with various emotions; many of which are ugly....

What are we thinking when we think we know what someone else is thinking?...

How can the now be eternally unchanged, yet the now that's now is different than the now before now and the now after the now?...

What I see is outside of me. What I smell, taste and hear draws everything near....
