Thisness…

Trust your own insights, you have your own unique mind and experience, no one else’s.

If there is to be change there must first be recognition. Indeed, often the seeing is the change.

Wondering about the degree to which we believe intentionality actually ends up achieving what was set out and conversely how much is achieved, and consequently goes unrecognised, as a result of unconscious, spontaneous action.

What we want to happen and what ends up happening are, perhaps, further apart than we imagine.

In each moment there is simply what is happening. The degree to which we think we are involved is almost certainly overstated.

Two closely related aspects of being. Creativity fascinates me as I do not understand it. It’s like an alien language to me. Solitude however is my natural state. Solitude defines me, is me.

I’m fascinated by creativity. I have no idea what it is or how it happens.

I’m continually surprised by how many apparently mature and experienced spiritual practitioners remain fixed in a self image of brokenness and lack, perpetually seeking their idea of perfection or nirvana at some future point in time and space. It’s as if they can’t let go of the handrail of spiritual materialism.

I have no idea what awakening or enlightenment mean to anyone else but to me they simply mean the open, unconditional, honest, vulnerable recognition of and gratitude for our life exactly as it is here and now.

It’s not a matter of either deserving or not deserving anything. We just get what we get when we get it.
