"And that evening, walking there on that wet sand, with the seagulls around you, you felt the extraordinary sense of open freedom and the great beauty of love which was not in you or outside you but everywhere. We don't realize how important it is to be free of the nagging pleasures and their pains, so that the mind remains alone. It is only the mind that is wholly alone that is open. You felt all this suddenly, like a great wind that swept over the land and through you. There you were denuded of everything, empty and therefore utterly open. The beauty of it was not in the word or in the feeling, but seemed to be everywhere about you..."
~~ Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895 - 1986), Meditations 1969 Part 7

Clearing the mind, as "tabla rasa", to fully experience the true beauty in anything. No distractions or preconceptions. It must be easy in PB!
