not always is our practice formal, lotus bound to mat, our minds anchored to a mantra or forced mindfully to the breath. Life itself presents to us all we need to reach a new perspective, relaxing into the present moment without a shift of mind. To be in nature, truly, as a participant of unfolding life - this is our true belonging. We see this is in observation of earth, sky, and all that lives upon and within. At no point does there come a separation of a tree branch reached through air, or a bird once landed on its limb, there is no existence seen apart from it all. This too is traced back to our own observation, our practice now is only seeing our essential belonging, on how we truly on witness from a silent mind, with a story falling always after. In the bareness of this viewing we now find ourselves as a witness removed, simply life itself joined whole in its unfolding. Our practice than - is always, only, seeing.
