People believe themselves to be dependant on what happens for their happiness, that is to say, dependant on form. They don’t realize that what happens is the most unstable thing in the universe. It changes constantly. They look upon the present moment as either marred by something that has happened and shouldn’t have or deficient because of something that has not happened but should have. And so they miss the deeper perfection that is inherent on life itself, a perfection that is already here, that lies beyond what is happening or not happening beyond form.

Accept the present moment and find perfection that is deeper than any form and untouched by time.

~ Eckhart Tolle
