A weary seeker

[the_end_of_me]

A weary seeker went in desperation to his master. "I just want to find out what reality truly is!" he cried in desperation. 

"Which reality?" the master asked. "Where is it?"

"This reality!" the seeker said through gritted teeth, trying his best to remain calm.  He pointed to the ground on which he was sitting. He pointed to the sky and to the tree beside them. With every point, his finger expressed more and more exasperation. 

The master said, calmly- "Are you referring to the reality that was there when you decided to point at it? Or the one which resided at the end of your tantrum?"

"The reality that is happening now," the seeker replied, much more calm and slightly embarrassed. "Right now!"

"What is now?" the master replied. "Can you point to that as well?"

And the young seeker's mind opened, just a bit.
