Do not pursue the past.
Do not usher in the future.
Rest calmly within present awareness,
clear and non-conceptual
Karma Wangchûg Dorjé, 1556 – 1603, The Ocean of Definitive Meaning

If you surrender to the wind,
you can ride it

Just this moment
And without judging, condemning, forcing, blaming, just come back to this moment, this breath. Each breath, a new beginning. Each out breath, a complete letting go. And voila, here you are again, right here, and no agenda. Just this moment. Just this breath.

Sunday Quote: It’s like this
Life could be limitless joy if we would only take it for what it is, in the way it is given to us.

Worn down
The current of life requires us to stand up, again and again, and we are not defeated when we are worn down, just exposed anew at a deeper level. We are meant to live between the two. In this way, life keeps getting more and more precious. It is a natural law like gravity or osmosis: Stand up to be worn bare. It is how everything in the way is thinned, so we can feel just how thoroughly alive we are.

Who are You?
If I ask you, ‘Who are you?’ You answer, ‘I am the one who sees. From back in here somewhere, I look out, and I am aware of the events, thoughts, and emotions that pass before me.’ If you go very deep, that is where you live. A true spiritual being lives there, without effort and without intent. Behind all thoughts and emotions, there you are. Now you are in the center of your consciousness. You are behind everything, your true home. The great mystery begins once you take that seat deep within.
