turn - and just briefly catch a moment in our own absence. At the returned end of our gaze we find no one present. Only the empty promise of pure existence - and within this space the world is filled.

Try this - relax, follow your gaze, notice. There is much to see. Now gently turn the gaze back upon itself. Briefly search for the source of sight. Where is it originating from? Is it possible to find this source through observation alone? Douglas E. Harding called this the Headless Way. By turning awareness back upon itself we may drop, for what seems like a moment, into pure existence. It's this empty space - our headlessness - that allows all things to pass through, to be, to exist, within us. In this space, all of distance unfolds, not just a hundred miles but further, the infinite revealing itself as my own spacious awareness. No longer a runner - there is no place to be. Yet there's motion.
Peace,
Eric
