FLOATING TRIANGLES floating triangles surrounded by colored dots revealing the face dots create lines that make up triangles, that make up the star in the center of which is a face...our face, their face, nature's face, G's face...all are there hiding at center...distracted by the colorful dots and triangles of life, sometimes it's hard to catch a glimpse of the face at the center, to be aware of the awareness that makes it possible to see the face, to contemplate the face of all faces. how many triangles are in your life... people, issues, challenges, problems, things you need to do, beliefs, habits, titles, roles, beauties, things...STOP the outward gaze and look inward to see your own face in meditation...contemplate the face...see others in your face, nature in your face, the universe in your face, G in your face...
