Obviousness

Obviousness:

mainly, I try not to write about spiritual concepts or my beliefs on certain topics, although I often do brush against the subjects on occasion and include them in my writing. But what I mostly try and share are experiences and insights that are less abstract in theory and more to be known deeply in the moment of reading, that yes, this feels to be something universal and equally so for every reader too. That’s the value of meditation of course, that it’s a systematic means of realization, proven through the ages since first Vedic seers observed the very silence of their mind. The right words can add to this value, pointers to the obviousness of our surroundings in a way that brings light to our own involvement in the moment. The best poetry is transcendent in quality, removing us from mere reading of the words to the actuality of the experience.

pointers to the obviousness of our surroundings.

and more direct still is to simply open ourselves to the moment and all that it may hold, not shying from uncertainty and mystery, but allowing ourselves to be fully immersed in whatever’s going on, mindful, yet not with technique or method, only through the process of living exactly through each moment. It’s just being alive to the obviousness of what’s occurring, life, all the way to the depths of our involvement. That life is all that’s ever found right now.
