Zen monk sharing cloud and water notes on experience of experiencing.

When we align our words and actions with the intention to love, we're not performing kindness or following a rule; we're recognizing something true about our authentic nature.

Identity passes through awareness like weather through seamless, unbroken sky. It never owns the space it moves through. It’s simply making temporary use of what is always free and available.

The most direct way I've found to stop thoughts from tailgating our life from behind is to open the hand of Attention. When Attention opens, thinking mind loses its outsized influence over us. We stop being pushed. We get to actually "Be here now."
