PRIMORDIAL WISDOM
When we cling to thoughts and memories, we are clinging to what cannot be grasped. When we touch these phantoms and let them go, we may discover a space, a break in the chatter, a glimpse of open sky. This is our birthright—the wisdom with which we were born, the vast unfolding display of primordial richness, primordial openness, primordial wisdom itself. When one thought has ended and another has not yet begun, we can rest in that space.
This is timely for me - that space - I imagine Serenity waits there...
It's not just thoughts, it's time also. When one time has ended, and another has not quite begun, we CAN rest in that space too. I think it's the space many of us are occupying right now - leaving our marriages in our mind and making the space for the future events to unfold.... whatever they may be...

"if i could define enlightenment briefly, i would say it is the quiet acceptance of what is"
