Place. Beauty, Revelry.

The silence of landscape conceals vast presence. Place is not simply location. A place is a profound individuality. Its surface texture of grass and stone is blessed by rain, wind, and light...

Truth

BEGINNING

well or beginning poorly, what is important is simply to begin, but the ability to make a good beginning is almost close to a learned art form: beginning well involves a clearing away of the confusing, the irrelevant and the complicated to find the beautiful, often hidden lineaments of the essential and the necessary.

And it is always hard to believe that the courageous step is so close to us: that it is closer than we ever could imagine; that in fact, we already know what it is, and that the step is simpler, more radical than we had thought: thought: just sitting down to the desk, just picking up the instrument or the phone: which is why we so often prefer to live in an almost world, why we prefer the story to be more elaborate, our identities to be safely clouded by fear, why we want the horizon to remain always in the distance, the promise never fully and simply made, the essay longer than it needs to be and the answer safely in the realm of impossibility.

By suspending thought and dropping into direct experience, you can access that perpetual state of Oneness that is the continuum of life unfolding, novel in its infinite creative expression.

Source is consciousness observing itself. It is naturally aware at all times.

Awareness requires some relaxed focus, willingness to experience fully and creates a vital partnership with Source.

Awareness is an activity of consciousness only accessible via the present moment. It can be accessed by paying attention to sounds as a symphony of vibration, or sensations that wax and wane, for starters.
