Dropping Through The Momentaryness of Experience

Falling with no bottom as we fully participate in life. Uncertainess, randomness, purposelessness. Futile to try to build your house upon the rock: find your wisdom and insecurity: become one with the transient nature of life. Observer sees that it's not very skillful or wise and then grows from that experience. Observer - Participant: we are not one or the other.

The Observer - Participant, Geoff Dawson, The Ordinary Mind School of Sydney

I do feel a peacefulness at this stage in my life. Feel I am building peace within myself so it can manifest around me. 

Practicing being fully present in every moment of my daily life. My body, my feelings, my perceptions. Mindfulness is the energy to be there for what is going on. Through breathing, walking, eating, etc. (Thich Nhat Hanh)

What can you get rid of to make room for people and relationships.
