I keep forgetting, and then remembering, that in our
lives, our present moment of time involves so many things, coming together,
just like this,
the way a winter storm and the stream
billowing beneath snow and ice down a mountain ravine ,and the circumstance of
a neighborhood crow or possum or coyote or human, all weave a moment together
into a tapestry of what becomes.
Always, the interesting thing is that
there are so many possible vantage points for each circumstance, and within all
that,
we DO have a choice to hone our capacity
to affirm the reality our self knows as true-
That we have all this connectedness right
now.
That if we pause in awareness, we learn to
observe ourselves, in our circumstances. It's tough, and the tougher the day,
the tougher it is to observe. But it is one of the only alternatives to
suffering, and an abiding sense of isolation.
Somehow with dogged persistence, and a
generalized hope that this helps, a peaceful way of being slowly becomes
interwoven with the difficult radical acceptance of what is painful in our day.
