Direct Perception

The flow of life expands and contracts like a pulse. 

There are busy moments, there are slow moments. 

There are tense moments, there are relaxed moments.

There are noisy moments, there are silent moments.

Am I aggressive, hurt or anxious in the moments of compression? 

Am I bored, depressed or restless during the moments of ease?

Who am I being from moment to moment? Who is in control? Who is at the wheel?

Can I consciously let go and pay attention to the pure awareness that is unadulterated by thought, memory, and the past? Can I look through that untouched lens? 

Time will pass, but without a concept of time. No future to worry about, no past filled with hurt. 

Can I live from the purity of my heart? 

In that space there is no thought, no words, just direct perception.

It is good.
