    Anita… even “not trying” is still a kind of trying… I don’t have an answer in words. Tao, Flow, Presence — these aren’t an understanding of the mind, but a knowing of the heart.

    Hi Everyone – I think I’ll leave the conversation on flow’s rise and fall here, with this Christmas blessing:

    Winter’s Grace
    Trusting the Light Within

    The pathless path lies silent,
    Not yours to claim or trace.
    The choiceless choice is given,
    A grace that leaves no trace.

    Virgin birth within the spirit
    A dawn no shadow can bind.
    As Earth in winter slumbers,
    Let your hidden light unwind.

    Become the glass unclouded,
    The mirror without a face.
    Eyes that truly open,
    Ears that deeply embrace.

    Not seeking, yet surrender,
    No grasp, no guarded view
    Transparent to transcendence,
    The Way is finding you.

    Dear Peter/ Everyone:

    You’re saying, Peter, that Tao/Flow/Presence isn’t about effort or non‑effort. It’s not something to “understand” with the mind, but something to know with the heart. It can’t be explained — it can only be lived.

    So, when I asked you earlier if I understood correctly, I totally missed the point.. 😊

    And, understandably (here’s that word again), you proceeded not to explain but to try (“try”, lol) to show through poetry how it can be known/ lived.

    “Let your hidden light unwind.”- this line caught my attention and immediately I tried to.. understand it.

    Never mind understanding then. But it FEELS good, I am guessing, peaceful, restful..

    “The Way is finding you.”- I believe that the Way is finding me. Slowly but surely, thank you, Peter!

    Anita
