I open the closet to shine a flashlight on the interior.
What do I see? It depends upon where I focus the light.
I can see the clothes and other items,
To be grateful for what I have.
I can find dirt and dust,
To be motivated to clean.
I can see disorganization and poor design,
To be inspired to reorder.
I can find empty holes and disliked objects,
To feel suffering and lack.
Whatever I discover, whatever I feel, whatever I do…
All depends upon where I focus the beam and how I choose to respond.
The closet itself is simply a space with things.
