The Joy of Paradox
I woke this morning to an email from a friend who sent me some links to The Happiness Project – mostly on the topic of paradox. Interestingly enough, I dashed over to the Zen center to meditate and arrived to learn there was a visiting speaker and guess what he was speaking about – you guessed it – paradox.
Since paradox just so happens to be at the forefront of what I’ve been thinking lately – the challenge of reconciling paradoxes mainly – specifically inside yourself – I turned my ear towards the conversation.
Buddha said, “Nothing we see or hear is perfect. But right there in the imperfection is perfect reality.” Ah, the paradox of life.
