softness

When transitions of consciousness are edgy, the flow is disrupted, and turbulence is induced. It takes an act of will to guide the awareness back to a smooth, continuous flow.

Thus a practice of softness can help the edgy individual. Softness with our choices, with our actions, with our emotions, and with our thoughts. Softness on the inside, and softness on the outside- softness to allow the motions a smooth transition. The one's curve of consciousness can become a smooth (infinitely-derivable?) manifold, and then one can be said to live with grace.

Alwaysness

The always-ness of the Now makes it unnovel, uninteresting to the unstable mind. It knows and assumes It will always be there, and decides instead to focus on the opportunities of escape purported by the tantalizing future, by the known masticated past, or by the immediate fancies of fantasy. Yet even in success, comfort, and achievement, these do not - can not- satisfy wholly. For whole satisfaction is found only in wholeness, and all of these temporary means foe scape (if we could only remember!) are but incomplete fragments of the Now.

Doubt not what you do. Heed only that your consciousness is open, whole, and awake as you do, live, and are.

Continuous, unholding, bright Awareness. Of all you perceive.

Soft, joyful, regretless Choice. At each fluid step.

Live. Whole and True.

outbreath

Sometimes I write with the intent of inducing a reaction.

Of having others observe my experience

And agree with it.

Of finding support in the readers

in the hypothetical future of my fancy.

But then there are other times

when reception is not the aim

when the written does not need a reader

to accomplish its intent.

These are times when the written

has no goal but itself.

The expression of a truth within

allowed to bloom as a mere outbreath

of the complexity I've become.

Reproduction.

Those times the written holds truth

and need not be read nor remembered

yet exists

as an outgrowth of my being.
