Right Now, Just Like This

"The problem is that you think something has to happen. It's actually happening continuously, and you simply don't see it. I don't have anything that you don't have. The difference is that I am no longer looking for anything. This is it, and that's the end of it. Give up the search for something to happen and fall in love, fall intimately in love with the gift of presence in what is. Here, right here, is the seat of all that you will ever long for. It is simple and ordinary, and magnificent. You see, you are already home"- Tony Parsons

No need to change anything. No need for "you" to "get" this. Nothing to "get". The person who thinks that they don't get this, who thinks they need to change, grow, improve, have more of this or less of that- all beside the point.

It's Just This- "Radically, Always and Already"

The thinking you don't get it is precisely "getting it". It's impossible to not get. Getting is All There Is, even when it looks/feels/seems like not getting (which it's not). There is only freedom, even when it is labeled bondage. It's here, now. The way it is. The universe is always forthcoming, always generous, never hides the Way It is from us. 'Cause we are it- the way we are now.

How touching
