I know that I can offer myself a struggle

My dad did this before, and so have I, for many years.

It’s familiar

There is always something to struggle with,

And to offer myself a struggle is nothing special

My prayer is for all beings to experience their magnificence and accept it.

To delight in their extraordinariness until it becomes ordinary.

For a moment I forgot how truly amazing I am. And I held back my expression.

Our mind, it has no locus of true and authentic pleasure

It’s role is to mitigate and resolve present moment suffering

And to try to imagine a world where this suffering does not exist.

The experience of a thing is always so much bigger than the words that describe it.

If I give you the word ‘water’ don’t expect it to quench your thirst. Also know

that the word apple will always be much smaller than the sweetness that

When I was a child, in school,

the question, Its meaning,

was to present the correct answer.

Was the question my friend ? No

Instead, it was something to overcome

or all together, something to avoid.

Can you sit and listen to the stillness?

Can you hear it beckoning you back to something familiar that has seemed so far away.

Listen. It’s calling you home.

Awakedness is awakened from “me” and there is no difference between them.

To be awake is to realize the game that is being played.
To be awake is to re-member.
To be awake to re-cognize who/what you really are.

In my thinking hunger is about food.
In my experience hunger is about discomfort

In my thinking hunger is about wanting
In my experience hunger is about not wanting

If you only knew in my thinking, then you might say that hunger makes me move towards something I want.

But if you only knew me in my experience…

When they tell you to stop and be still
It’s not about not moving
It’s about giving you the chance to recognize something,
that somehow has escaped your attention.
An aspect of you that seems to have gone unnoticed.
