Excursus : Within the Realm of Enlightenment

Lizards Eating Maize

I hate to have to tell you this, but life is not about having the answers or about knowing what to do in a given situation. Having either of those are just more to attach yourself to. Learning to travel light – without the burden of attachments – means that openness to the wisdom of each situation develops in the attention that your presence in the situation brings.

Learn to be comfortable in “not knowing” and you will have a friend in seeing the inner grace and beauty that each situation and person brings to life. And in not having the answers, you will have no ego (built on the certainty of self assurance) to defend from indignity.

Although there are many wonderful precepts to guide your life, your presence in the moment, with awareness and attention, will guide you in knowing reality as it reveals itself in each precious instant. And in that revelation, the Truth whispers its Way of being that brings the quickness of life into the fullness of realization as its own answer to the moment’s welfare.
