Take awakening with you,
Don’t leave in the meditation room
Or at the beautiful retreat
But carry it with you into the mess
Into your world
Into every part of life
And see where you drop it, forget it, ignore it
See where it gets edged out
And overruled
There, in those very places,
That’s where the rubber hits the road
That’s where it happens.
In those micro moments
Is the opportunity
To meet your experience
With openness, with tenderness
With any awakening experience you may have had,
And fall beautifully into the unknown
Beyond mind’s incessant limiting nature.
