Drop out of the world crumbling into madness and absurdity without boundaries or values, and drop into the world of our own solidarity and trustworthiness. Seek out our own heart and the truth of what matters most to us here, now. What would that be? Emptying ourselves of the noise of the world and the fear/anxiety within, and waiting in the silence to see what arises to comfort and console and lead the way into reliance upon, and confidence in, “the still point of the turning world” that holds things together even as things fall apart. Finding the center. Remembering the ground. Knowing the truth of the force of the flow of even so, nevertheless, n matter what, and taking courage in the possibility of “peaceful abiding, here, now,” we look to see in every situation that which is called for with the eternal presence of our own original nature, our innate virtues of what we do best and enjoy doing most. The eternal things that never abandon us or leave us bereft, but always wait for the right time, and place, and way, to be and do what needs to be done here, now in each aspect of every circumstance where it is always appropriate for us to who we need be and do what can be done of what needs to be done in response to all of the occasions of our life, all our life long.
