The elusive

The idea of the image is as just as elusive as the idea of happiness. By the idea of which we conceive happiness to be, it is already gone. In the way in which it can creep up on us, it remains until we decide to go after it. It is as elusive as the muse or music which keeps us content, and even spontaneously entertained; but not in the way in which is cultivated, rather inherent inside of us when we are least focused.

It is because of this lack of focus that vision, or image, or muse or music can come into being without us having to ask for it. Yet as Eastern meets Western ideas of being within a religious practice, there is need for stillness which must be taught, an absence of thought which would otherwise perpetuate pretense.

It is this absence of pretense which allows for clear sight because the camera is not tilted, moving or having to constantly readjust. There is an allowance of Present.
