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.”

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.

YOU are infinite void, still, silent, but illuminating, while “all that is” moves inexorably through the never-ending space YOUR emptiness provides. YOU illuminate the movement of all things, the looks of passers-by, buildings, trees, stars, and myriad other forms that grace existence, and yet, YOU are immoveable.
Nothing in life shows up for you. It appears because of YOU. Let it all in and let it out. Emptiness allows everything, and stillness illuminates it. All that’s left at the end of the show are smiles, but the “show” never ends!

Humans try desperately to escape the many diverse situations they find themselves in, seeking something new that promises better opportunities. However, escaping from a mind that seeks “other” is the more empowering endeavor. Do you see? Escaping from any situation that lugs the thoughts that convinced you escape was necessary is like carrying your prison cell around with you and imposing its confinement on anything new you encounter.
Your mind is your prison. Until you break free from its unceasing and virtually unlimited arguments, the freedom you seek will always be within the walls you build. Get out of your mind! As “crazy” as it sounds, it is the only “freedom” worth pursuing.

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
You mind only when your mind minds. The rest of you lives without any opinion at all. What YOU are, beneath all thought, cares nothing about what you think, and while privy to your thoughts, IT loves, ultimately, the human experience “you” are having.
Spoiler alert! Life’s more fun when you’re not “thinking” about it!
