attention

I just had a strange experience. Oh yeah, it's Wednesday. I have strange experiences every Wednesday. And Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Monday is my day of rest. One a strangeness scale, this wasn't above a five-point-three.

Resting here as this--what difference does it make? As I sit here, there is awareness of profound stillness within this unknowable source of being. When thoughts arise characterizing the experience, creating or recalling some interpretation that has seemed real to me, one of three things seems to happen. The thoughts may pass through unimpeded, just noticed and leaving no trace, like a bird through the sky. They may be recognized as thoughts and then they unravel within the vast, open sphere of conscious awareness, like a snake untying a knot in itself as it moves, naturally along its way.
