Finding how things ought to be and aligning ourselves with it can be difficult from time to time. Wait, what? And now what? Aren’t always clear. Like when Daylight Savings Time goes into effect and you are the only one who doesn’t realize it. What time is it? Can be difficult under those circumstances. Ordinarily, everyone knows what time it is. Occasionally, everyone but you knows what time it is. That can be disconcerting. The world is seemingly out of sync when it is actually only you. Once that becomes clear, everything clicks into place and things are as they should be once more. What’s simple can be amazingly difficult, and then it is simple again. And such a relief. Once we know what’s what, and what’s called for, and how things need to be.

Thinking this image was taken from Clingman’s Dome, when it was actually taken from the Clingman’s Dome parking lot could be a problem if you were tryiing to duplicate the photograph from the wrong view point. Thinking we know what we are doing, and actually knowing what we are doing are quite different things. And how we get the world back under our feet can be simple and amazingly difficult. And quite out of our control until realization dawns and awakening occurs.

Realization is always like that. We don’t know until we know, and then it is so simple, why, of course! And at any point–at every point, actually–a number of people are walking around not knowing what time it is, or where to stand to take the photograph we want to take. Finding how things ought to be and aligning ourselves with it can be difficult from time to time.
