well hello!
what shall we explore together today?

what will rise to the top of our attention?

pausing … in open waiting… listening to the sparks

smiling … how wonderful … this quiet
when all is possible …

when no thought dominates the mind,
when the mind is quietly listening to itself,
smiling to itself … content…

to live in this pause and welcome whatever arises

maybe a sad memory … wishing to be seen,
wishing to be held in the heart

maybe a fiery, urgent self-righteous thought
wishing to be seen, wishing to be held in the heart tenderly

maybe a spark of doubt, maybe of fear, maybe of joy …
making themselves known,
all wishing to be seen by our heart lovingly

pausing … waiting … quietly
welcoming the next spark
