Every Sunday morning, I listen to ‘The One You Feed’ podcast [along with a dharma talk by Tara Brach] in which the host, Eric Zimmer, interviews a current thought leader on how this parable works out in their life.

Things are as they are.
Looking out into the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars,
nor between well and badly arranged constellations.
