From the Practice
Here some heart advice is, less is more. You don’t have to do anything here. Letting go of the controlling ego, shifting from the driver’s seat to the passenger’s seat, letting be, beyond effort, hope and fear. And if there is some resistance to this much vastness and uncertainty, if there’s a controlling part of us that wants security, then we meet that with real kindness and care.
And we feel this as the quivering heart. Yes, we don’t know. There is this vast boundless uncertainty, but at the same time, there is this love, this deep care for our planet, for a tree, for a red tail hawk, for our fellow human animals, for the pain that we have caused and the pain that is coming.
From here without any formal break between practice and not practice, between meditation and action, we can arise from our seat and go forward into our life with this quivering heart, with this luminosity and the openness, the rest and the profound ease of the groundless, open ultimate truth, pervading our being. So that action, compassion, and space are inseparable.
