2022-B

This is the parent page for posts during the second quarter of 2022. Hope you are glad to be here!

Seeing happens in its own time,
in its own way,
if we stay out of the way
and allow things to unfold 
according to their own accord--
just waiting,
just watching,
for the mud to settle
and the water to clear.

Too much noise and complexity
in our life
keeps that from happening
until we learn the secret
of dropping into 
emptiness,
stillness
and silence
amid the clashing rocks
and heaving waves,
becoming the still point
of the turning world
by remembering the Gateless Gate
is nothing more 
than a slight shift in perspective.

And just like that,
we ""turn the light around,
"a door opens where there was no door,"
and "a new day has begun."
