So don't let the "bad thoughts" win by defining how you view self and other...there is no real self when we get to the heart of things...there is no real other either....The connection you feel, warm and fuzzy, when you allow yourself to let your guard down and smile, when you hug someone and your toes get warm...when you stop long enough to become present to the wonder of the world around you, when you feel energy circulating, pulsing through the circuitry of the universe... this is your experiential awareness of the energy of life and it is a truly wondrous thing! Makes you forget that time or self or even place ever existed... it makes you wonder why you ever needed them to exist...Why do you?The best things in life happen when we forget the cares of the world, when we trust that what we need will become available to us...when we free ourselves from the bonds of self, the constricts of time and place, and allow ourselves to re-charge in the energy of simply trusting, allowing, in simply being...John Tarrant, Director of the Pacific Zen Institute , poses the following question as an entry point into allowing ourselves to love the world as it is:
"What might the world look like if I loved it as it is, just as it is?" John Tarrant
Stop for a minute...be quiet...be fearless... consider Tarrant's question for us and let love do the rest... Love me...you...everything...
