Inquiry as practice
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.–Albert Einstein
→Ask questions.
I’d like to say this is the first present I received when visiting the Gimme Presence site to partake in its creator Kristen’s challenge. But I can’t.

The gradual vs. sudden debate.
Is it about effort or effortlessness?
Can delusion and wisdom coexist?
Do I have to be aware, as in pay attention, or is it a matter of remembering…I’m already aware?

Learning to reside in being
During the spring I attended a course with Loch Kelly on what he calls “awake awareness.” I met Loch during a retreat last year with Mingyur Rinpoche, when he mentioned the course to me. In truth, I wasn’t terrifically open at the time.

Over the mountain
Going the back way I honk on tight corners of narrow dirt lane. Woods open to meadow and barn, a road now frost-heaved even in summer. As kids we called it the roller coaster road. Around the bend, up a steep hill: a one-room school house, a tiny chapel. A school, seared in memory.
