Loving Awareness Practice

We know the practice: present moment awareness. But how do we practice when things are so rough and torn? First with love, then with courage and thirdly with grace. I like all three, for all of us, moment by moment by moment.

So finding your most loving and courageous and graceful pasture for this moment and settling in just feeling your connection to the earth, Whatever best way you can, Whether it's the feet on the floor or the sit bones in the chair, Connected to the floor, Connected to the earth or the hull of the boat connected to the water of the earth. And then who are the beings, The humans, The other beings that are nearby, That are in your immediate environment? Can you connect with them? Can you connect with, Can you open your heart and connect with an even broader circle? All the humans and other beings in the community where you live in the city or state or province or country, Continent, Hemisphere, Whole world. And can you let the love that's in your heart just radiate out just gently, Not as a kind of a sending, But more as a kind of an offering and also as a receiving. Sending and receiving love. No content, No effort, Just a willingness to be part of this fractured and beautiful world. I do not at all understand the mystery of grace, Only that it meets us where we are, But does not leave us where it found us.
