Seeking occurs in time,

and follows a path

out of the present moment

into an imagined future.

Discovery is grounded

in the present moment,

centered here and now.

Seeking focuses on a distant goal.

Discovery focuses on immediate Reality.

Seeking is fueled by restlessness and longing.

Discovery is delighted, fulfilled and satisfied.

Seeking is predicated on lack and grasping,

– and a sense of something missing.

Discovery is completely open and receptive

– accepting and embracing Reality,

exactly as it is.
