Making life work requires an act of love so great that the impossibility of knowing how to do it never prevents you from living it with starry-eyed wonder and amazement. Knowing that you may never know is the only fuel required to make it work, and loving any outcome the joy you experience, having done so. Love your living, and life always works.

There is only one way, and to the chagrin of many, it is not your way, any way, someone’s or everyone’s way! Happily, you’ll know the way when you’re on the way and YOU are always “on the way.” Don’t overthink it!

Happiness is not a derivative of your ability to judge the differences between this or that. It exists regardless of your distinctions but is most apparent when you don’t make any distinctions. Do you see?
It is not possible to dive naked into a pool of water and not get wet. Likewise, happiness is a pool that only asks that you plunge into its depths without judging how wet you will get or what that wetness consists of. Life is swimming; even if you don’t know how to swim, always take the plunge. See you at the pool!

Right now, even as you read this, everything tunes out, your focus narrows with only thoughtful concentration as you grasp the words you’re reading, and in the surrounding silence, it is the most simple and non-complex your life will ever be. But only in this moment and just because silence carries bliss, the bliss that is your home.
Awareness is not about focus, paying attention, or thinking. It’s the silence surrounding it. Let the words flow, but listen to the sounds they do not make. Now, smile as you return to your human experience, and thanks for spending a moment with me.

You and you alone are what’s possible in this moment and that which encompasses the infinite. You may critique the expanse with remnants of the past casting shadows over your awareness or overlook it with alternate dreams of something else, but still, at this moment, you hold it all even while you are busy missing it.
Awareness judges nothing and even holds space for all that you think otherwise and waits, eternally if need be, for you to recognize YOU as the birthing of all that is NOW. Clouds are not separate from the sky they form in. YOU are the sky and the beholder of it. Anything “other” is impossible.

You are the canvas upon which everything is painted; whether there is color, expression, beauty, ugliness or nothing at all, you remain life’s only artist. Such beauty leaves no room for questions; thus, no answers either.

I don’t believe that there is anything more significant in the universe than this moment I spend now. In truth, I don’t believe in anything at all. If engaged fully in the present, belief in anything is unnecessary and a waste of mental energy that won’t alter, in any way, what is. Being present requires nothing from you except, well, BEING!

Reason digs deep into your mind, but mystery unleashes the infinite. In other words, the quest for “reason” by digging into your mind does little more than prevent you from a mystery no mind will ever comprehend. Reason that!

Your searching for the “road less traveled” deprives you of the only road you can travel. That is, the one you are on now. Searching for “other” always puts you on the wrong exit.
