Life Is A Second-by-second Miracle.

Awareness Is Our True Self; It's What We Are. So We Don't Have To Try To Develop Awareness; We Simply Need To Notice How We Block Awareness With Our Thoughts, Our Fantasies, Our Opinions, And Our Judgments. We're Either In Awareness, Which Is Our Natural State, Or We're Doing Something Else.

There Is A Foundation For Our Lives, A Place In Which Our Life Rests. That Place Is Nothing But The Present Moment, As We See, Hear, Experience What Is. If We Do Not Return To That Place, We Live Our Lives Out Of Our Heads. We Blame Others; We Complain; We Feel Sorry For Ourselves. All Of These Symptoms Show That We're Stuck In Our Thoughts. We're Out Of Touch With The Open Space That Is Always Right Here.

We Are Caught In The Contradiction Of Finding Life A Rather Perplexing Puzzle Which Causes Us A Lot Of Misery, And At The Same Time Being Dimly Aware Of The Boundless, Limitless Nature Of Life. So We Begin Looking For An Answer To The Puzzle.

What Does Open Us Is Sharing Our Vulnerabilities. Sometimes We See A Couple Who Has Done This Difficult Work Over A Lifetime. In The Process, They Have Grown Old Together. We Can Sense The Enormous Comfort, The Shared Quality Of Ease Between These People. It Is Beautiful, And Very Rare. Without This Quality Of Openness And Vulnerability, Partners Don't Really Know Each Other; They Are One Image Living With Another Image.

With Unfailing Kindness, Your Life Always Presents What You Need To Learn. Whether You Stay Home Or Work In An Office Or Whatever, The Next Teacher Is Going To Pop Right Up.
