Having No Mind; a Reflection on Experience, Self, and Desire

September 30, 2019 / The Enlightened Mind / Leave a comment

And yet I have to thank the me that felt so restricted by my circumstances and ideas, because it's all brought me here to the point where I can look at life and sincerely say, "I think I'm enjoying this, and I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next."
