Here it is right now. Everything as it is. Start thinking about it and you miss it. Try and grasp it and it vanishes.

Every morning I get up early, go out and walk, and listen and look and sense and feel and think and always with the inquiry ‘what is here now?’
And after I return I pretty much continue to do that all day wherever and whatever I am doing. And it feels like practice enough for me.

This body moving
like the waves are breaking
Wind blows through
this empty space of mind

Nothing excluded
Impossible to pull apart
Limitless unfolding
Eternally now
