Sitting #1
Written by takuin on Wednesday, April 23, 2008 – 10:18 pmI move, and it is there.
I move, and it is there.
I move, and it is there.
Everywhere is movement, and all is being. Thoughts bubble up to the surface then disappear into itself, like countless vegetables bobbing in and out of sight as the soup gently boils.
The sensation in the brain is very sharp and biting this evening. Sometimes it hits like a frozen icepick, and it is all the proof one has that some kind of head exists.
Listening to the voice on the stereo, the mind gently vibrates as the words come and go. The words are understood, but they do not stick.
Listening happens, and the brain throbs in concert with what is heard.
It is not enough to hear. Listen!
Listen to the birds, the wind, your feet on the pavement. Be with it, in every moment, right to the very core of being. Walk until you lose yourself.

Love the imagery, especially the soup. Life is gently boiling soup, cooking to perfection.

Thanks Davidya and Kris.
This seems to be the way the posts are coming out these days. Not that every one will be like this. But there is something taking place that gives rise to this “new” way of writing.
I am interested to see what happens next.

As the mind steps back, it is more about just being and observing what is. Sensations beneath the buzz of thought become clear. Then a way to express that without disturbance. To be in heart, to be in mind, to be in awareness, at once. And there it is.

Hi,How are you doing? This is Mitsu. It’s kind of long time no see.
I think that everyone and everything in this universe are always changed.
Actually, we can get everything that we really want. We should enjoy with them like a child who given some toys and look so happy.
Then we have to try letting go them which are finished playing.
There are not “this” or “that” and “here” or “there”. There is nothing start and also end.
Our being is everlasting.
We never lose ourselves.
Thank you.

Hi Mitsu. Thanks for stopping by.
I’m sure we’ll run into each other at an upcoming meeting or seminar.
Thanks for the great comment.
