When we are hard on ourselves, or hard on others, isn’t it interesting how it is those small moments that define character? \u00a0 Most of the time we are fine, everything is alright, things are calm. \u00a0 Even in war, soldiers spend most of their time in tedious inactivity punctuated by bursts of frightening violence. \u00a0 Cities are not in a constant state of crime. \u00a0 Governments work perfectly fine most of the time. \u00a0 It is the small aberrations that we notice and these then colour everything.<\/p>\n
When you become aware of how much fear you don’t have, how much violence ISN’T happening, how much struggle ISN’T going on, you can take on fear, violence and struggle in context without a story that your whole life is like that. \u00a0 It’s like becoming aware of how much space there is inside an atom or between stars.<\/p>\n
Presence is fine. \u00a0 Presencing absence is awe inspiring. \u00a0 We are mostly made of space.<\/p>\n
