Suffering Is Our Call To

No Matter What Feeling Comes Up - Numbness, Irritability, Shame - If I Let It Arise And Play Itself Through, I Naturally Open Into Wakefulness And Care.

What Would It Be Like If, Right In The Midst Of This Busyness, We Were To Consciously Take Our Hands Off The Controls? What If We Were To Intentionally Stop Our Mental Computations And Our Rushing Around And, For A Minute Or Two, Simply Pause And Notice Our Inner Experience?

In Any Moment, No Matter How Lost We Feel, We Can Take Refuge In Presence And Love. We Need Only Pause, Breathe, And Open To The Experience Of Aliveness Within Us. In That Wakeful Openness, We Come Home To The Peace And Freedom Of Our Natural Awareness.

We Can Find True Refuge Within Our Own Hearts And Minds-right Here, Right Now, In The Midst Of Our Moment-to-momen T Lives.

I Think Of Desire As The Essence That Brings Forth The Whole Universe.
