Just this, right here, right now

We habitually search for certainty and something to grasp. But what if our very effort to grasp reality, to pin it down conceptually as this or that, is what creates confusion, uncertainty, doubt and delusion? In recognizing that no conceptual formulation can capture this living reality, in relaxing the attempt to grasp the ungraspable, in holding on to nothing at all, there is immense openness and freedom.

Because we feel separate from life and think of ourselves as a tiny object in an often threatening world, we inevitably feel deficient, anxious and dissatisfied. We search outside ourselves for a cure. But what if, for one moment (this moment, the only moment), we stop all our habitual resisting and seeking, and instead give complete open attention to what is here now, just as it is, prior to all our thoughts and ideas about it?

In simple, open presence, the thought-sense of being small, separate and threatened by life disappears. We are life; there is only life. There is no gap. All apparently formed things, including people, are like waves in the ocean—ever-changing and inseparable movements of the whole. This aliveness can't be pulled apart or divided up. It is ever-changing while never departing from here-now, this one bottomless moment.

Beauty, love and wonder are not "out there." They are the very nature of this here-now aware presence. There is a stillness, a spaciousness, an openness at the heart of our being that has space for everything to be as it is and space for something new to emerge. That openness is love.

What is offered here invites firsthand exploration and direct discovery, not belief or dogma. There is no finish-line, no formula, no method, nowhere to go, only this ever-fresh aliveness.
