sitting with quiet...mindfulness, and mindlessness...with an openness to whatever is present, and presenting.
the guru-devotee, master-disciple, relationship still can be effective, and still has a place in our world; yet this may be an age when it is becoming less necessary. because, in this quickening and accelerating age we are living in, when anything and everything is changing at a breathtaking (and breath-giving) speed, and where information may be transmitted, exchanged, shared, in almost no time at all, the possibility of awakening is right here, right now.
enlightenment is never more than a moment away.
each of us is mystery. each of us is mastery.
each of us lives with a golden Buddha heart.
each of us has light streaming through us,
and each of us may see the light streaming in and through any and all others' eyes...hearts...minds.

yes, in this time---our time---the means of great destruction are readily available, and only a button-pushing-moment away.
AND yes, in this time, our time, the means of connection, of awareness and awakening, are only a heartbeat away.
perhaps, here now, in a passage of time referred to as 2012, we may understand an essence of the Buddha's teaching is not about becoming a buddha (an "awakened one"); it is about being a buddha...an awakened one.
may this be the best year yet.
