When you really face the fact that there is nowhere to go and no choice, then you enter your situation completely.

Your mind does not keep saying “Well maybe I’ll do this, maybe I’ll do that”

There is no choice. There is only this moment, moment by moment by moment by moment.

At that point, you can open to the simplicity of your being and of your connection with others.

From that, clear action is possible, compassionate meeting is possible.
