when i was looking for my hidden treasure in the backyard, i thought about how sometimes things are concealed, like the secrets of buddhism. it's like when you have to withdraw from playing games to start homework, but instead of homework, people practicing buddhism might sit quietly and think deep thoughts. they say it's like starting from the top of a mountain and seeing everything clearly, even the ants marching below. my big sister told me it's a bit like a notification on her phone that pops up to remind her of stuff, but way more important because it helps people grow on the inside, before they even know they're going to, like a flower before it opens. that's what she calls preexpansion, but i just think it's cool that something can be hidden and then turn into something beautiful.
