We can get lost on the path looking for the answer.
We can get pretty tired searching for the truth, in part because we feel some sense of time moving.
We “need” to get it figured out now because if we don’t, then we won’t and we want.
The next moment we hold is meant to be perfect. AND it will be.
Like other experiences in our life, in a way we could never imagine.
Cloth from cotton was incomprehensible
That’s why it’s so helpful to explore. That’s why it’s so helpful to take a moment.
Once in a while look at your hands take stock of your feet.
Feel the breeze on your arms.
Maintain contact with the outside.
Use your voice to make an object.
This is all the real thing.
Even that which feels so far.
Into the karma lagoon you go.
At this present moment tools outside of my normal practice are required.
In this new moment it is ALL new, all firsts firsts. I’ve been in similar states and know them to be beautiful, challenging, hard, easy, eye opening.
Environments change. Skill sets too.
All follow the wave.
And where will I be?
In the past I’d say that I’m at the oars, or working the rudder- some muscled sculpting the path ahead.
And now? I feel as if all I have the energy for, the sole act I can commit is to turn my self over to the water.
A river runs.

bless the cowherd
bless the long grass
I have
hypnotic revealed and I am
“Soft asleep in the afternoon while the ants check if i’ve washed my bowl”
I never do
A long walk in the soft heat
Towards fecund hedges and long relief
a foreign sound and the old way
Deep chambers of cool coils
Soil scent mingles with the warning tang of nettle
Thorn.
Earthly pong
Receive it all then send it back
