It’s now or never as ‘tiz said. We can get there from here. Being here right now. That’s our practice today. We are all artists in the art of life. We are all adventurers! (Like Titin in Tibet!) Every day is a good day if we are in a good state of mind, way of heart.
How fortunate we are! We get to do this life. We get to do what we are doing right now. It’s inherently meaningful, beautiful, and purposeful. Let’s just be aligned with ourself, our body. Sit up straight. Not over-thinking. Not looking out the window like kids at school waiting to go out and play. Gaze into the window of emptiness and recognize your true nature. Come home to yourSelf. Just sitting, just breathing, just being present and awakeful. Mindful rather than mindless. Atuned. Aligned. Come home to ourselves – just being. We already are!
What do we have to do to be? … Just breathe, relax and smile. Arrive here and now. Unadulterated, undivided attention is the essence of contemplative practices, as Simone Weil said.. This moment only moment. Just this much, as my Thai teacher, Ajahn Chah said. Dig it.
