Inside the Bull’s Eye

From the moment we are old
enough to listen, we receive
instructions to improve our aim,
buy better arrows, refine the 
grip of fingers on bow string.
Think of the irony. Here we sit
within the bull's eye, aiming
at externals.

The good news is that every 
practice done with love and focus
eventually reveals the insanity of
targeting a distant goal. By
then we've grown so used to 
holding the bow, drawing the
string back with just the right
amount of force, that its hard to
put the arrow down and just be
present in the bull's eye.

An other beautiful reminder from Danna Faulds to take our attention away from targeting external goals and make time to step away.

With a shift in focus, along with compassion and love, we find satisfaction and joy within.
