Nothing Definite

here, for me - nothing is declared definite, any insight holds meaning only for the moment that it's given and lasting no more than is needed. Each instant is clear in what it offers, it's a guidance system for my own understanding, an inquiry meant only for the benefit of seeing what I am in the moment of my looking. 

So my words may provide little meaning outside of this consideration - however, perhaps they'll serve for someone too in their own search for understanding. In this light - may every answer be your own in the moment of your asking.

Seamless Sutra

it's a seamless heart sutra - now seen as inclusion of it all, myself in selfless expansion, spaciousness becoming as the details of the world, and awareness no different than the objects that it holds. This was my awakening from the sleepwalk of seeking experiences to confirm my sense of non-dual reality, to the simplicity of allowing things to be exactly as they are. It's enough to just be within each moment fully human, and as well to find myself completely given to the whole - what's more is that it's all happening on it's own, no effort required to be more, and nothing subtracted in order to know myself as the open capacity that holds it all. It's seamless.

Given The Means

is there anything to do? 

Air is given for breath, exhaled with no effort of our own, our heart is in it's own rhythm, seeing and hearing occur without a sense of trying. Every function of the body is met by a wisdom of design. These things simply happen. Existence happens on it's own.

To be - takes no effort at all. 

Everything else, details - and we are

given the means to 

answer every

one.

Am I?

aware - and nothing more

apart from 

this

~

 and this is my inquiry, a simple questioning of my own aware understanding from moment to each passing moment and all that it may contain. The question is "am I aware?" - and then a quiet reflection in the line-less reality that seems to always follow. I make no assumptions from this, right now I am aware, I find no division from object or thought to my attention, and it's here I find a certain peace that holds it all. 

it's enough. 

Peace,

Another Coming Season

not to relinquish - but as surrender to

nothing other than the 

moment at 

hand 

there's no need to give up anything, to fight against our present conditions and circumstance, everything is settled already as motion, shifting again to another moment's presentation. Just as a season is not distinct in it's own surrender - but an accumulation of days giving less of what was once it's strength and now grows more into what soon will be. We too simply surrender to the grace of another coming season.

It's Always Like This

it's always just like this - and even a story believed otherwise belongs exactly as it is in the moment that it's told. Nothing can be true in description, yet every word is held in the truthfulness of a silent backdrop. This is our understanding, our own sense of presence to all that may follow - words, thoughts, and every action appear in contrast, but not apart, from the backdrop of our being. It's always like this...

Presence simply waiting to be noticed.

Into This Is My Surrender

it's my surrender, continuous by nature, and no more my control than breath or heartbeat - every moment is simply given as is and comes to grace by means of acceptance. Here, right now, the world and all it offers belong within this grace. 

Nothing is excluded. 

...and into this is my

surrender

Peace,
