perhaps resting in being is always enough

According to this teaching, there is nothing you need to become. There is nowhere you need to go. There is nothing you need to accomplish. There is nothing for you to realize. There is no project for you to realize. You are already what you wish to become. When we ask a rose or an orchid, “Why are you here? What is your purpose?” The flower might answer, “I am here to make life more beautiful. I am here to bring you joy.” But the flower could also answer, “I am simply here. I am here to just be here. To be is already enough.”
