Who among us has not suffered the thought “I’m not ___ enough” at some point or another. Whether it’s physical (not strong enough), or intellectual (not smart enough), or psychological (not sensitive enough)…it all comes down to not good enough. And that’s a pretty awful way to feel. In most cases, it’s just a thought. It’s not true at all.

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.

A matter of perception
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.

Waking up as metaphor
Leaf, Autumn 2002 by Edward Dimsdale
Reflecting on this leaf from the bodhi tree–a symbol for bodhi, literally “awakening”, and Buddha, also a symbol–the awakened one…The image of waking up is one that definitely resonates for me. I like the gerund form, because it suggests an ongoing process.
