Take a Look

Restlessness.
What is it really?
A disturbance. A tension. A resistance.
Time plays a part in it. A future moment is desired. A future moment is feared.
The mind cannot be with what is. It is resisting the moment.
It is at these times the mind desires and the emotions fuel it. It will turn to suffering with ease.
The ego points the finger and accuses the things that surround it, the things that are failing to fulfill it. It will blame and suffer. It will dwell on what should be and what should have been.
Despair may even creep in, take root and grow.

This is the sequence of events when there is no awareness present.
This is what happens when we do not take a moment to really look.
