Choiceless Awareness – A Road to Freedom
With great kindness we learn to open and be with ourselves moment to moment. Wherever we find ourselves with whatever is presenting in our lives.
Little by little we learn to open and respond to life as it is. This in time leads us to clear seeing, bringing us closer to choice, and to taking charge of our lives in helpful ways.
Often times we may have been steeped in, and coming from a distorted and precarious ground.
We can grow a new ground of being from beginning to see more clearly. Acceptance and especially self acceptance are very much a part of this ground.
We become clearer by shining the light again and again on what arises in our lives.
For once on the face of the earth,
let’s not speak in any language;
let’s stop for a second,
and not move our arms so much.
It would be an exotic moment
without rush, without engines;
we would all be together
in a sudden strangeness.
If we were not so single-minded
about keeping our lives moving,
and for once could do nothing,
perhaps a huge silence
might interrupt this sadness
of never understanding ourselves
and of threatening ourselves with
death.
Perhaps the Earth can teach us, as when
everything seams dead and later proves
to be alive” –
Pablo Neruda
