Ungraspable Presence, Right Here, Right Now

Awakening, as I see it, is about discovering the love, the beauty, the joy, the wonder, the wholeness and the sacredness right here in each ordinary moment. And sometimes it's about feeling the pain, the grief, the anger, the sorrow that is part of being alive.

This ever-changing aliveness never departs from the ever-present immediacy of right here, right now. All apparently formed things, including people, are like waves of the ocean—ever-changing, inseparable movements of a boundless and seamless whole.

Believing ourselves to be separate and small, we humans get tied up in imaginary problems—overcome by feelings of deficiency, anxiety and dissatisfaction, fearing death, trying to control the uncontrollable, searching for certainty and something to grasp.

But in holding on to nothing at all, there is immense freedom. In the immediacy of presence here and now, nothing needs to be figured out, eliminated, acquired or purified. Nothing needs to be, or could be, other than it is in this moment, and all of it is an inseparable movement of the whole.

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