When Awareness Embraces The Senses, It Enlivens

In Letting Go Of Wanting Something Special To Occur, Maybe We Can Realize That Something Special Is Already Occurring.

Buckminster Fuller Himself Was Fond Of Stating That What Seems To Be Happening At The Moment Is Never The Full Story Of What Is Really Going On. He Liked To Point Out That For The Honey Bee, It Is The Honey That Is Important. But The Bee Is At The Same Time Nature's Vehicle For Carrying Out Cross-pollination Of The Flowers. Interconnectedness Is A Fundamental Principle Of Nature. Nothing Is Isolated. Each Event Connects With Others.

In Asian Languages, The Word For Mind And The Word For Heart Are Same. So If You’re Not Hearing Mindfulness In Some Deep Way As Heartfulness, You’re Not Really Understanding It. Compassion And Kindness Towards Oneself Are Intrinsically Woven Into It. You Could Think Of Mindfulness As Wise And Affectionate Attention.

Even Though In Principle We May "know Better", We Routinely Succumb All The Same To The Incessant, Often Frantic And Unexamined Busyness Of Thinking We Have To Get Somewhere Else First Before We Can Rest; Thinking We Need To Get Certain Things Done To Feel We Have Accomplished Something Before We Can Be Happy.

The Awareness Is Not Part Of The Darkness Or The Pain; It Holds The Pain, And Knows It, So It Has To Be More Fundamental, And Closer To What Is Healthy And Strong And Golden Within You.
