This metaphor really kicks in the whole meaning of what is to be detached & present all at once...
The metaphor often used for meditation is a great blue sky with clouds floating through. You identify with the sky, not the clouds. The clouds are thoughts and emotions that simply pass through the sky, but they don't change the sky, only what is momentarily perceived there.
This morning, I saw all my investments --with a few exceptions-- go down into the red. I think disconnecting and investing in yourself can make up the perceived "lack" of luck. I did an energizing flow yoga this morning and my mind is letting these perceived lost go by the wayside.
Your article gave me me more confidence in what I am doing. Thank you for sharing your insights! 😁
So glad to hear the reinforcement came at the right time! Flow on.
