Most of us have an argument with what is HERE. THIS is too boring, too ordinary, too painful, too irritating, or too-something other than what we think it should be. But this is it. THIS is what is. Going to the grocery store, brushing our teeth, having dinner with a friend, watching a football game, or walking in the woods. You mean we don't get to see through walls, talk with the dead, astro-travel, and have other-worldly experiences? Well, anything is possible, but if we seek anything other than THIS, we turn away from the truth. By attending THIS, fantasies evaporate, and we are left HERE--solitary, unitary, vast, intimate, connected, and as concrete as ice dropping into a cup at McDonalds.
