Doing what is called for
in each situation as it arises
is all it takes.

We get distracted  by desire, fear and duty,
and 10,000 other things.

But the basics remain the same over time
throughout the ages.

Focus and presence, kid.
Focus and presence.

We live to discover who we are
and what we are about,
simply by being who we are,
doing what we are about.

Keeping an eye on our original nature,
our innate virtues
(What we do best and love doing most),
and our intrinsic intuition.

Being here, now, 
is openness to here, now--
without prejudice, favoritism, preference or opinion. 
Just seeing, just hearing, 
just perceiving, just knowing, 
just doing what is called for 
when, where, how it is called for. 

How would you improve this process? 
Why would you think it needs improvement? 
Just being "as one thus come" 
here, now and doing what is called for in response:
Chopping wood, carrying water. 
Eating when hungry, 
resting when tired... 

"Improvement" is interference! 
Let things be as they are, here, now, and forever,
and doing what is called for, 
when, how and where.

No one can do more.
