Thisness

There is no separation in all aspects of being, a life is indivisible whatever it’s variation.

There is true liberation of mind in this realisation and an unshakable trust in not knowing.

I let go and fall, untethered, into the unknown. Weightless, free, peaceful and fully in love with everything.

The specifics of where I am, and what I do are irrelevant. I am always right here, right now, riding the irresistible, ungraspable wave of being — out of where I know not and where to a mystery yet to be revealed.

Adventure? Compared to what? Simply being here is adventure enough.

In practice the more you desire and effort towards anything in particular the further and faster you push it away. Let go of all notions of getting anywhere and you miraculously discover you’re already fully here.

A felt sense of being beautifully bloated and pregnant with unutterable possibility yet profoundly empty with infinite capacity

All these words are just ferns unfolding

A worm extending itself through the earth

Raindrops evaporating on the ground

No more, no less.

To take oneself apart yet remain indivisible
To clearly see through oneself yet remain whole
To completely disappear and dissolve in the world yet embody infinity

The true human being
Has undone everything
And made no attempt
To do it all up again

They live from emptiness
The most beautiful grace of all.

THE BELOVED CALL US ALL

There is a natural intelligence
That speaks a secret language
You can only hear it, and feel it,
When you stop trying to fill all the gaps
When you get very quiet and utterly still
And listen without thinking.

THE BELOVED CALL US ALL
