Life is without motive, and living should be too. Ego has motives that thwart the very essence of living with something perceived that must be achieved. What you are, before any thought, is stillness and tranquility ungarbled by the difficulties of change and achievement, motivated by an insatiable ego that must have in order to be. Motives driven by desire require prior knowledge and thought, while life, in its purest form, is a mystery, unabated by anything you think it is or should be. Taking a step into living is not an act of faith; it’s an act of courage requiring stepping into the unknown and the unknowable. Think about it all you want, and you still don’t know.

Your eyes are never as wide open as when they have no description of what they see. In other words, what you know, brought to the forefront of “what is” is memory, not awareness. “What is” is devoid of all that you remember. Now forget and have a fantastic day!

Each day, this day greets you with arms open, the kiss of sunshine, nature, and all that burst forth in heavenly nuance, not because it has all of this life to give but because YOU are its Creator. The smile of all that is is your smile, your breath, your love. My smile and love in return are the only way I can share my gratitude with you for this, YOUR creation!

Silence has no words, associations, descriptions, or assumptions for the present moment you create. It is not the opposite of noise as most of us think of it. It is all things without definition, spring without winter, fall without summer, life billowing without meaning. Silence is where the miraculous precedes the mundane. It is everything and nothing, smiling at the ALL that has no explanation. It is YOU smiling with the created.

YOU know, but if you think you know, you no longer know. There is an innate intelligence within you that has nothing to do with mind or memory but is alone and silent and rests in a place inaccessible to your thoughts. What YOU are is always at peace, but burns with awareness only your aloneness can experience. Silence is not being free of the noise surrounding you. It is peace amidst it. You are most aware when you are most alone. However, you’ll never “know” if you think about it.

The act of searching implies that you have an idea of what it is you are searching for. “I am searching for enlightenment,” suggests that you have an idea of what it is, meaning you will recognize it when you happen upon it, and it will look like what you have already presupposed it to be. Do you see? This is not searching; it is accumulating confirmation for what you think you already know, and if you know what it is, you search for you won’t find anything else! Additionally, the thrill of finding (confirmation) will be short-lived, leading you back to another search for something to replace the last one.
Truth cannot be sought. It is dynamic and ever-transforming, and all you can do is be clear of mind and meaning and always ready for whatever shows up. You will never know, but you will be continuously surprised and amazed. It’s an exhilarating way to live!

The rarest voice in all existence is the voice that will never condemn another. Don’t satisfy yourself with the nonsense that you have it figured out and have discerning eyes and ears that know goodness from badness. YOU create it all, including your mind, that seeks reasons to dislike and separate from YOUR creations. Love’s embrace has no division, no mind or thought. Be “rare” and speak no ill. What you speak divides “you,” and love cannot have you divided against yourself.

Learning can only take place in an atmosphere of “not knowing.” If you think you know something from the past, something you learned, then you are not in a state of “not knowing.” You’re merely remembering. Learning is newness and only happens “now” when the window through which you view experience is completely clear of any thoughts about it. Simply, a mind without its knowing is a mind that can learn, but even better is a mind that is aware that there is a vast unknown that is knowable.

All that is, all that YOU will ever be, is contained in this moment, and in whatever earthly form you happen to be experiencing, e.g., spiritual and physical are not separate. It’s all here now; right now. Do you see? We want so desperately for there to be more to existence than the physical life we are living, and, in the process, we miss living the life we have, which contains everything there is. Now is your perfection, your freedom, and the only place of love you can experience. So… experience it!

Living is a perpetual meeting of the creator and the created. That is YOU, the Creator, and “all that is” the created. It doesn’t matter where you meet or under what circumstances. Life is yours to embrace because YOU are its very essence, its breath, its beauty. Meet creation with arms extended to all of it. Perhaps you don’t remember creating “what is,” but loving it, regardless, will put grace into living and ease into your life. Plain and simple, have a fantastic day! Meeting, never adjourned.
