But the mind always
wants more than it has -
one more bright day of sun,
one more clear night in bed
with the moon; one more hour
to get the words right; one
more chance for the heart in hiding
to emerge from its thicket
in dried grasses - as if this quiet day
with its tentative light weren't enough,
as if joy weren't strewn all around.

true, that is where the mind will pull - and what a good practice it is to sit and feel the perfection of where we are now, appreciating it being simply enough...
Oh, I love waterfall pictures! Which one is this?
