It’s flow. As you point out it shows up, not surprisingly, everywhere.

Yes. Even the smallest river is still wet.

People talk about flow, grace, the zone, played by the music and so on, and this is where an artist, athlete, musician, scientist or anyone, has been able to absent the me for a particular activity. When we can absent the me for just being–that is awakening. It’s flow. As you point out it shows up, not surprisingly, everywhere.

Being together or a train wreck does not determine seeing or letting go.

That is right.

Yes, the artistic process mirrors awakening in some ways. If one can fully allow the process, the me is absent.
One cannot tell from life circumstances how well they can loose themselves. Being together or a train wreck does not determine seeing or letting go.

That is right, and it is everywhere if we stop to take a look. The greatest of artists completely lose themselves in the act of creation…their lives in general, might be a train wreck, but when they are creating, all of that is absent.

(laughs) It’s curious how the message shows up everywhere. But then not so much if you realize that which is infuses all things…
