Awakening before dawn and seeing the morning star, brightly shining in the dimness, I thought of the moment, just a moment! when Buddha awoke. A moment like this one, like any moment. A moment that continually unfolds for each of us. When the thinking is quiet, we can truly see, as one with the conditions of this moment. The cool of the morning, the heat of the afternoon, the four o’clock breeze tossing the cottonwoods, beings dancing in living joy. Be right here. Wholeheartedly right here, with all that occurs in this moment, the true face of our life is never hidden, and can be revealed in all our activities.
