To be intimate is to feel the silence,

the space that everything is happening in.

~Adyashanti

when transcendence feels like escape, we come back to basics….

inquiry for today~ what layers can you notice and hold lightly?

for all that feels sublime

When we ask ourselves, “Is awareness here?” most of us probably pause, sense the presence of awareness, a and say yes. yet every day we restlessly pull away from this open awareness and immerse ourselves in busyness and planning. Our conditioning prevents us from discovering the peace and happiness that are intrinsic in taking refuge in awareness. Seeing how we paper over the mystery of who we are is an essential part of finding freedom.
