Guest guest Posted March 29, 2001 Report Share Posted March 29, 2001 Dear Joyce, To put things a certain way (neither personal nor impersonal) -- It's a definite... Awareness *IS*... like the oxygen in the air, unaffected by smoke, utterly untouched... it seems that anything burnable has been burned, anything that has/had a seeking/striving momentum simply never was. "The wheel" never was. If the life-story (person) called 'joyce' has less glorious moments -- complete, unconditional acceptance has to be the default... it couldn't be any other way. As 'this body' accepts and welcomes oxygen when breathing, so do all forms, so does all life -- and breathing out, what was important for so brief a moment is released... "My motto" is "let come what comes, let go what goes." I am not driving the train. It seems I was chasing a train... then I was aboard the train and not in control of anything... and I have 'become' the train, and nobody is at the wheel, and life is 'living itself'. There is no such thing (seen from here) as "a less glorious moment." All moments are glorious. I have moods, of course... always brief... a brief burst of anger, a misinterpretation here and there... these things can't be avoided in communication, but I don't take words seriously. "Moods" are for off-list. I no longer subject others to moods, I don't seek a cheering section or a jeering section. I am emptiness, and I am fullness. I don't believe there's any end to 'discovery'. "Realization" is prior to itself. It was always Realized. As my friend Dan Berkow puts it so beautifully, 'just this, here'.

And then I would know that this Love also would > incude complete unconditionally acceptance of my own less glorious moments > past, present and yet still to come - smile. > > Joyce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
