Tonight the writer is sitting here, in the evening stillness.\u00a0 Daughter asleep, mind still, breath close, and noise outside of fire trucks.\u00a0 Resting in here, feet connected to the floor, and wavering energy passing through.\u00a0 Noticing the \u201cenergy presence\u201d. The presence of energy here, alive, as the cat brushes against the writers leg. The writer noticing that thinking is optional, no longer circular, no longer falling for the trap of cleverness, and manipulation in the mind, which always took the writer out of here.<\/p>\n

\u201cI AM, therefore I think\u201d, simple.\u00a0 Life simply here. No such thing as waiting for the future, or waiting on the past to change. There is no thought to justify the means to the end.\u00a0 A vast space, infinite, alert, here, just noticing.\u00a0 Clear mind. Just noticing. Just noticing the body now. Marveling at the body clothes, which seem to breath effortlessly with no thoughts, flowing breathe. With thoughts present, the breath stops, choking, imprisoned by the endless mind of non-sense.<\/p>\n

Alert here, alive I AM.\u00a0 This \u201cI\u201d choosing to think, thinking about itself, protecting its false ways, left brained, rational, linear, lacking creative insight.\u00a0 Wonderful\u2026.<\/p>\n
