And so it begins… again

I always imagined having a blog but never really knew how it would come to be. Always an image, floating somewhere in my mind’s eye as a future potential someday far, far away. And isn’t that always the way it goes? With anything we seek to do worth doing in this life, it seems we put things off until the “right time” and “right place” somehow appear to us out of thin air.

But life is never “out there”. It’s always here and now. That’s the brutal but liberating truth we’re faced with again and again, and the universe has been reflecting this back to me more than ever in my own life in recent weeks and months. It’s something we know at the deepest level of our inherent intelligence, but we override the truth of it again and again in favour of looking elsewhere. We think there’s an escape to it all, but that’s really just an illusion. All happening now. And that’s the best part. The great Now can never be undone, only forgotten temporarily.

This isn’t my best work, as I’ve been building this website for hours without eating a morsel. But I wanted to record this here moment while it’s here. Where I shall go with it all, I’m not entirely sure, but that’s the work and lesson in itself. To trust this Now moment so deeply that it may satisfy every perceived “need” or “want” the mind could come up with, as it is literally the primordial field that mind emanates from in the first place.

I shall be back with more! Or not, after a delightful meal and walk in the snow. Or I could die before I even get there. Who knows? This is living, baby. The greatest knowing lives in unknowing, and I love it here. Finally.
