I give credit to the experience of emptiness, stillness, silence (One thing, not three) over time to be at the place of experiencing frustration without being frustrated, for example. This is the way of experiencing a situation without being consumed by the situation. We can observe a situation and be immune to the situation. This is the way of emergency room personnel being able to take whatever comes through the door and do what needs to be done. When, where and how it needs to be done. We can practice being here, now while not being here, now, every day. We can become immune to the inescapable things in every here, now, in the service of doing what needs to be done in the right way, at the right time, in the right place. And be open to the joy and pleasure of being able to offer ourselves in that way to what is asked of us throughout our life.
