Okay now,
Let's take a few good minutes,
Settling into the present,
The now,
Your body,
Your breathing,
The sounds and the sensations of this moment of now,
As you are,
As this moment is.
However you might judge it,
Pleasant,
Unpleasant or neutral,
As a richness and a depth you can sense into the numinous all around you.
Relaxing your jaw,
Letting your jaw go,
Smoothing out your breathing,
Letting your breathing flow.
And as the great Alan Watts said,
We see the external world and the act of its flowing through us.
But this us that it flows through is not some sort of pipe that's different from what's happening.
So again I refer to the image of a river and there's a whirlpool in it.
The water never stays there but the form of the whirlpool remains and each one of us is like that.
So sensing that flow,
The flow of now,
The flow of sound,
The flow of breath,
The flow of the traffic,
The flow of all the fluids within you.
One flow,
One river and you can't step into the same river twice.
