The pursuit of happiness
takes you away from happiness.
The pursuit of meaning

The pursuit of wisdom

To find,
refrain from seeking.
Everywhere is here.
Forever is now.

I know you are channeling your Eastern religion mindset, which I deeply respect, but this poem also brings to mind T.S. Eliot. If you haven’t read The Four Quartets and Ash Wednesday, you should. Or if you read them more than twenty years ago, you should re-read them now.
Yes it’s been a while since I read Ash Wednesday. Thanks for the suggestion.
