Being there is being here, now–which, with the right kind of emptiness, stillness and silence, is highly preferable to what passes for life most days.
Stepping into this scene in your imagination, and staying a while, provides us with a refuge from horrors of the latest headline and the absurdity/insanity Donald Trump and his idea of how things ought to be. Empty of Donald and the MAGA madness, we are prepared to receive the Buddha’s idea of how life needs to be lived: “Peaceful abiding here, now,” with an openness to “That, too, that, too” without losing our attachment to the rhythm and flow of the right thing, done in the right way, in the right place, at the right time, sitting with the creek and the wonder of “This, too. This, too.”
