Seeing what is there
Seeing what is there and doing what has to be done. A. Frank, p. 33
This wisdom comes from a book by Sam Crane. The book is about taking care of his son Aidan. Aidan is quadripilegic, blind, unable to speaks. Same Crane sees the wisdom of his life when he wrote the above phrase. No picking, no chooising, just seeing what is there and doing what has to be done.

I tried practicing the "see what is there and do what needs to be done." I found that the "seeing" alone is not simple. Certainly meditation helps us see. I sometimes get caught up in my own little universe and don't see a lot of things. This statement helped me. My busyness gets in the way of seeing sometimes. It also gets in the way of doing what needs to be done. Sometimes I see it (dog poop on the floor) but don't want to do what needs to be done. Or I see another person wants something from me, but I want to hold on to it for various reasons. Practicing this made me aware of a lot of resistances and blindnesses and made me see and work with my resistances more.
