Life as Whole
My Whole life
has been a challenge
and it allways
comes back Whole

Fear is a gift
that keeps us humble
it keeps us looking to Spirit
rather than to ego.
I am not a teacher of Zen Buddhism, of non-dualism or Advaita. In fact I am not a teacher of something. All I know is – the unknowable – Silence, the nothingness behind words, that that I am, life as it arises now, endlessly illuminating Wholeness.
“We are One. We are not separate. We are love, unconditional. This is the Truth. We are not grappling here with what these words mean, that would be a call to thought and mind. We are simply extending an invitation to look within and see if these words resonate within the Silence of the Soul.”
I am the most comfortable living – I don’t know – as that is the most aligned and honest movement that arises here. Any knowingness arises from a movement of mind and feels tangled in paradox. It is in the nothingness of - I don’t know - that - I am - each form and face it takes.
The most appropriate circumstances converge
in this moment,
they are sacred opportunities
to Embody
the Whole of what you are,
as you are appearing,
Now ... Muni
You are the wind
You are the wind
You are the wind....
And everything it touches
Meeting each other as we are ....
very simple, easy, open ....
no effort, no drama, no distance ....
... just the Essential ....
... in Silence know yourSelf… let dialogue, questions, sitting, Being, spontaneously arise from what is Here, True, Now. Not from the thought or concept of what Truth should look like and where you might go to find it .... but from where it is Now, just Here in the your Eternal Self.
