I don’t know

It is a relief for this “know-it-all” when I learned the power of this surrender.  Even if I knew, of course I wouldn’t know.  I don’t “know” my feelings, I feel them.  And feelings are exempt from making “sense.”  Otherwise they’d be products of the mind.  And they aren’t, they are memories replayed of the heart sometimes placed in the future.

In any case, all I know is right here and right now.  Clicking keys, tea, cool apartment, figures of my gods and goddesses nearby.  Morning as a “know nothing.”

Embrace the center with my whole heart, comfort and nourish the body, accept and tender the mind–aligned with the Tao, the first principle of how things work.

Pema calls it the Path of Awakening.  More like allowing, bowing, honoring All That Is.
