About these words
Some days argue with you. These words don't argue back. They offer a quiet correction. The moment you're in is already complete, whether or not it asked your permission.
The story behind these words
The words on this clock distil a longer thought from the people who said them first.
“How wonderful. How wonderful. All things are enlightened exactly as they are.”
“All things are perfect exactly as they are.”
“Everything that happens happens as it should, and if you observe carefully, you will find this to be so.”
“Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, and do so with all your heart.”
“Do not seek to have events happen as you wish, but wish them to happen as they do happen, and your life will go well.”
“The world is perfect. It's a mess. It has always been a mess.”
