Underlying Calm
Awareness is like the sky.
Open, spacious, and peaceful.
Thoughts and feelings are kind of like clouds in the sky.
We may lose sight of the sky when it is covered by clouds.
But even when clouds cover it, the sky's true nature remains.
We may lose sight of the open, spacious, and peaceful nature of awareness when thoughts and feelings seem to cloud our experience.
True freedom is found by knowing awareness despite the clouds that seem to cover it.
