Today’s interesting/thought provoking reading: (Taken from At Home in the Muddy Waters by Ezra Bayda)


Staying in the “what” has nothing to do with wallowing. Wallowing involves believing in our thoughts and opinions. To stay in the “what” is to experience the moment with all its uncertainty – without the ground of thoughts and concepts, with no knowledge of what is to come. This is just the place where we least want to be.

But as we continue to push the truth of the moment away – whether by attempting to figure it out or through flights into our comfortable addictions and fantasies – the heaviness, drama, distress, and dis-ease of our life will persist. As we insist on believing in our thoughts and judgements, we will continue to shut ourselves off from the depth, the genuineness, and the satisfaction available to all of us in every moment.
