What the mind is used to
People have a hard time letting go of their suffering.
Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.

When the eyes and the ears are open,
even the leaves on the trees
teach like pages from the scriptures.

All there is
Practice is just hearing, just seeing, just feeling. This is what Christians call the face of God: simply taking in this world as it manifests. We feel our body; we hear the cars and birds. That’s all there is.

What’s important
We hurry through the so-called boring things
in order to attend to that which we deem more important, interesting.
Perhaps the final freedom will be a recognition that everything in every moment is “essential“
and that nothing at all is “important.”
