At First - We Practice


At first it's a practice - it seems our favor has fallen from a seamless view of the world to one of greater demand from a mistaken viewer. So we learn to see again - or rather we redirect the outward vision that gained exclusive right of way, and turn our attention towards the source awareness itself, our original face that requires no sight. We practice looking here, simple, no assumptions, looking - and then we're seeing. It's nothing drastic, and yet we've regained the whole world as one possession, a continuing view holding both emptiness and form. We've discovered ourselves - again. At first it's a practice, and then it's not. It's just the way things are - and always have been.

I'm looking for the face I had
Before the world was made.

Peace,
Eric
