A Lo🔻e Triangle
...And really u just let it pass. You either like one more than the other or don't like either of them enough to deal with the shit and/or allow them to have you in that manner you fantasized about

Enlightenment by Prentice Mulford
Enlightenment - what is that?
A beggar had been sitting by the side of a road for over thirty years. One day a stranger
walked by. "Spare some change?" mumbled the beggar, mechanically holding out his old
baseball cap. "I have nothing to give you," said the stranger. Then he asked: "What's that you
are sitting on?" "Nothing," replied the beggar. "Just an old box. I have been sitting on it for as
long as I can remember." "Ever looked inside?" asked the stranger. "No," said the beggar.
"What's the point? There's nothing in there." "Have a look inside," insisted the stranger. The
beggar managed to pry open the lid. With astonishment, disbelief, and elation, he saw that the
box was filled with gold.
I am that stranger who has nothing to give you and who is telling you to look inside. Not
inside any box, as in the parable, but somewhere even closer inside yourself.
"But I am not a beggar," I can hear you say.
Those who have not found their true wealth, which is the radiant joy of Being and the
deep, unshakable peace that comes with it, are beggars, even if they have great material
wealth. They are looking outside for scraps of pleasure or fulfillment, for validation, security,
or love, while they have a treasure within that not only includes all those things but is
infinitely greater than anything the world can offer.

“Marie, let’s suppose that two firemen go into a forest to put out a small fire. Afterward,
when they emerge and go over to a stream, the face of one is all smeared with black,
while the other man’s face is completely clean. My question is this: Which of the two
will wash his face?”
“That’s a silly question. The one with the dirty face, of course.”
“No, the one with the dirty face will look at the other man and assume that he looks like him. And, vice versa, the man with the clean face will see his colleague covered in grime and say to himself: I must be dirty too. I’d better have a wash.”
“What are you trying to say?”
“That’s a silly question. The one with the dirty face, of course.”
“No, the one with the dirty face will look at the other man and assume that he looks like him. And, vice versa, the man with the clean face will see his colleague covered in grime and say to himself: I must be dirty too. I’d better have a wash.”
“What are you trying to say?”
“I’m saying that, during the time I spent in the hospital, I came to realize that I was
always looking for myself in the women I loved. I looked at their lovely, clean faces and
saw myself reflected in them. They, on the other hand, looked at me and saw the dirt on
my face and, however intelligent or self-confident they were, they ended up seeing
themselves reflected in me and thinking that they were worse than they were. Please,
don’t let that happen to you.”
That is why it is so important to let certain things go. To release them. To cut loose.
People need to understand that no one is playing with marked cards; sometimes we win
and sometimes we lose. Don’t expect to get anything back, don’t expect recognition for
your efforts, don’t expect your genius to be discovered or your love to be understood.
Complete the circle. Not out of pride, inability, or arrogance, but simply because
whatever it is no longer fits in your life. Close the door, change the record, clean the
house, get rid of the dust. Stop being who you were and become who you are.

Emotional. Mysterious. Dramatic. Humble. The Moon shines according to what is reflecting off its surface. The leading explanation for how the moon formed was that a giant impact knocked off the raw ingredients for the moon off the primitive molten Earth and into orbit. The craters on her surface come from meteors and we all know who and what the meteors symbolize. #moonPhases #collectibleMatter
