Without efforts
things are seen

Without meanings
things come to mind

Without purposes
things are concerned

I, as a member of one community, just let myself flow with this.

Without a fake
I just see according to my own senses.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are things that are just seen.

I am standing and see something.
The thing has always been there and I just notice them as I stand there. Among other things, you and I have changed as time goes by and we finally notice such changes when we stop.

Stop means comma, space and just. Thanks to these words, we forget complicated things in our lives for a second, flow with the current and give space to our mind. When we notice that how much these things are struggling to build the inner side, we can use them as a guideline for the future.
To an individual or a group of people, just doing, listening, speaking something can be meaningless. The word 'just' can also be meaningless. The meaning of 'just', however, is limitless. 'Just' gives us a moment to stop and see space. Sometimes, it gives us a word of comfort or sometimes, a word of advice that we should stop somewhere to take a breath.

It's just an ordinary daily routine. But we are always nervous in life. We've always concerned about our lives in many changes, relationships and circumstances. After I take a breath, I see the sky, flowers, grasses and trees and suddenly think about the meaning of 'Soyoyu(逍遙遊)'. When I stop, I have room to see more things. There are a lot of hidden spaces, we just pass by them. 'Just see something' gives us room. Thanks to this, I have power in my mind to embrace more things. I also understand that things that are seen by me actually see me.

I've never thought that the sky, flowers, grasses and trees would make me such space for my life. These things are such precious because I see them out of my busy life. I can also understand that I should let something go.

Things that are just seen become a meaning for me.
Things that are just seen prolong in my mind. I don't know what is a completion and I don't need to know. Life is the present progressive.
Notice the room in the mind and 
See what is coming.
