AWARENESS OF THE SUBTLE IS LIVING WELL AND TRULY.
Life passes – or, more accurately, it seems we pass it – with most of us, most of the time, focused on the gross – the conflicts and contradictions manufactured by our noisy, conditioned minds. You know, the beliefs, desires, and fears that keep us head down, heart closed, and often dimly despairing, if not desperately seeking a little break, a little rest, and respite from this constant fighting one battle after another – all conjured and believed, but actually only opinions, personal preferences, and denials we make to somehow control; to pretend, contend, and defend that which we think and need to believe is true, but which, in non-personal fact, is false and a fantasy.
We hurry past life – through the garden gate, going somewhere else – and miss the subtle, like the tiny green frog that’s been living in the gate post this summer. With attention not distracted by mind-made nonsense, perhaps, today, we can pause, look, listen, and enjoy what IS, here and now. That’s life for you! 🙂
