The Different Faces of Experience

Recently I came across this gem of wisdom from Gina Lake at Radical Happiness. It's profound and worth remembering, especially when we get all caught up in our drama. And I love that term "radical happiness" - what a concept!
Experiencing what you are experiencing and experiencing your thoughts are very different realities—very different experiences. When you are experiencing what you are experiencing, you are at peace, relaxed, content, absorbed, with no thoughts about “me,” how “I” am doing, or any other stories, which are the ego’s version of reality. Instead of experiencing reality, the ego tells a story about it, and that becomes its reality.
