Ordinary

Ordinary:

that it’s so ordinary, resting in this awareness, awake to my own absence as well as and at once to my very own fulfillment, a heart sutra of emptiness and form in full review revealed with every glance. This is how I see the world, and yet it’s often overlooked, forgotten in favor of a more mundane view, as if miracles weren’t occurring all around me, life constantly showing itself through its every configuration, and all of it seamlessly appearing from an allowing void of possibilities. That all this is so commonplace as to be mistaken for anything less than miraculous is a testament to the ordinary nature of this view, an every moment occurrence of what should always induce a sense of awe.

and yet it’s simply life, ordinary, happening at once and all the time.

this is why I love the headless way practice, literally pointing to my absence and watching the world spring forth from this seeming void. The miraculous is always available to be witnessed, watching mystery unfold in common form and the everyday details of the world. It’s amazing to see my part in this, my role as capacity, empty, and yet somehow awake to my own potential to be filled and overflowed with all of life. It’s an amazing part of my everyday living, an easy pause and meditation of seeing how ordinary the truly miraculous occurs through every moment.
