Here and now is the place to start.  To watch the light open up the day.  Dawn birds chatter and wake the forest, then quiet to do their daily business.   A leader reveals the light, the Tao, the How, the Way that the flow is going.  The chi of life does indeed flow.  With or without us.

But sometimes the flow is slow.  The light is dim.  The birdsong is very soft.  My practice then is deep listening.  Quiet watching.  Simple moves.  Tentative actions.  The silence is revealing and filled with stories.  It takes much time for them to sing their tragic songs, play out the drama and drop the curtain.

Practicing the Presence softens the nothing.  Comforts the numbness.  Soothes the soul.

For more deep quiet slow silent open hearted listening.
