Big Mind

In the mailbox this morning: It is time to think bigger and open our minds to the possibility that nonduality does exist. We may not be a philosopher or great meditator, but there is the possibility that greater areas could be opened if we bother to look … An immensely larger version of thinking and of celebration is taking place. – after Chӧgyam Trungpa Rinpoche, Glimpses of the Profound, Shambala, 05/17/2016.

The Watercourse in its Way is a constant reminder that while we can see and name every occurrence of every thing there is a mysterious unnameable, immeasurable reality from which all emerges. Not only to know, but to not know. In the silence of my meditation I hear the Cardinal songing. The brook in its babble of infinite language is constantly transforming itself and ourselves. The oceans, rivers, streams constitute 60% of the totality we call Earth, and near 50% of an individual human body. 97% of the Earth's water is in its oceans, 2% in her streams, barely 1% in the 6 billion of we mouth breathers. Breathing, respiration, from liquid to gas to cloud to rain to ice to stream to ocean. We are the droplet, the sea is us.
