View #21 ... and the sun goeth down

The Manhattan night view - a bit dark; earlier would've produced a better photo while the sun still illuminated from just beneath the horizon.

Why do we assume that toiling and laboring is the way to achieve...? We think that if we endeavor with 'fight' in our hearts, we achieve what we have set our hearts on. It doesn't work that way, though.

Thought for the night: when we resist what is in order to chase after something that is not, we lose the very thing we are after - and lose our self in the process also; we cannot change what is already there; we have to first accept what is - it's futile to fight what already is - then we can do what we are able to now to make the next moment how we want it; honor the things of today, chasing after the things of tomorrow will not make the todays of the future any better.
