Life’s most effective sounding board is silence. If you take your thoughts with you into experience, you’ll never know the peace life so wholly and sweetly offers. You can tell all in a quiet moment, and all you’ll get back is an embrace and love so deep it swallows every concern. Are you listening?

“The road less traveled” is the only road you will ever be on, not the route you fantasize about being better. The contemplative wanderer never reaches a crossroads, and so “the road” always blossoms into life experienced and everlasting.
Don’t look for signs along the way, nor post any of your own. Where you are going is where you are now, and no other will ever know the splendor you and you alone experience. It’s a beautiful road not found on any map, forged alone by YOU. “Happy trails!”

You are nowhere, but here. You did not travel to get here, but “all that is” came to you, because of you. Please don’t spoil it, trying to get somewhere else. “What is” is YOUR audience. Give it your undivided attention and best performance!

Don’t let your genius lull you into self-importance, superiority, or reasoning that concludes a solution to every mystery. You, me, education, science, religion, government, politics, etc., etc., will never know what lies beneath the experience you or anyone else has and why events unfold as they do. The human mind is fundamentally lazy and loves the safety and assurance of a “fixed position” that rarely, if ever, changes. Awareness is witness to all that is, without the slightest sense of why or how. You simply experience more when your mind is not looking to apply “what was” to “what is.”
All knowledge is a storehouse of “what was” that has nothing to do with “what is.” Clearing the warehouse opens your eyes to the real and uncouples genius from mystery. It is the only way to see. Experience the day for “real.”

Your purpose, should you choose to accept it—unmitigated, unidentified, unimagined, unquestioned, undefined, reckless, wild, crazy, joy! You don’t even have to “choose.” Just go live without any restrictions at all. It’s the only way to see and be what you love!

Don’t let anyone or anything from your past be a reason to torture yourself. The past doesn’t exist. Living presently takes clarity, uncluttered by the non-existent. The only story of you worth experiencing is the one unfolding now at this moment, which is the only place anything, including you, is real. Give this moment no thought, but do, give it your best performance ever!

Awareness is little more than the realization that everything you consider imperfect, including labels and identities you give yourself and others, is, in fact, perfect. That is, no one, including “you,” ever falls under the scrutiny of your thoughts. Thinking is a busy road fraught with every manner of opposition that lulls you away from beauty, while walking the quiet path allows everything in without any consideration that “now” happens for any reason at all.
Life on planet earth is perfect, as are you and anyone you think otherwise! Quiet minds honor perfection by allowing it, undefined, into their awareness. Perception sees all as perfection. That simple!

Take a breath, hold it, and ponder for just a moment that in all existence, only you could have done so, and no one else will ever breathe in or out what you just did. Nothing about YOU is confined in any way to thought, premise, conjecture, or concept except for when “human intelligence” is applied to it.
All that is awakens within you and moves in absolute perfection as you breathe each infinite breath. Experience your human trifles but reverence your infinity. Nothing is ever the same after taking a slow, deliberate, and ponderous breath.

Reconciliation with life is not possible if you require an understanding of what life is about, why you are what you are, why you are here, and what, if anything, lies beyond it. Such questions are mysteries no “mind” will ever comprehend, and they are also distractions that draw you away from the life you have.
Life is a present moment reckoning where all that lies before you lives its full measure without any explanation or meaning. The “reckoning” is that you, too, can live fully in concert with everything else, as is, and without expectations that dissatisfaction, in any way, is of your own making.
It is a difficult thing to let go of all the neat little revelations you’ve determined are reasons for why things are as they are, but doing so stops an activity of your mind that always yields an erroneous result. You just don’t and won’t know, so let go. “Not-knowing” is surprisingly vast and profound, “knowing.”
Bozebits
Life has no way or propensity to “fall apart.” Humans, on the other hand, let it happen by giving way to mind-made expectations that do not pan out as thought or taught. Do you see? Your idea of life “falling apart” is a rigid belief, for whatever reason, that you have any control over the movement of an infinite spectacle that does what it does without any input or expectation from you. Give it up!
The upside of “giving up,” however, is that when you do, you have a chance to see that life never stops living because you think it should be other than what it is. Nor should you. “Falling apart” is the present moment’s awareness that nothing stands in the way of pristine newness that is continuously exploding into life. Wonders always unfold for those who live. Live now, live forever! They’re the same!
