The still, silent point
within the shifting tectonic plates of our lives
A river bank
beside the stream of becoming
A parachute
The pole star
A creased bed sheet pulled smooth
An unhooking
A non-arising
Aware of joy and sorrow, but not joy and sorrow;
aware of samskaras, but not samskaras
The witness
a window onto a window
the prior condition
That which opens, rather than contracts;
that which relates, rather than polarizes
A key in the lock of conditionality
A decentring, not a centring
A hug from Green Tara
full of compassion
a healing nectar
Embodied depths
dropping into a flow of energy
surfing the wave
taste of freedom
Grace, not gravity
angels of our better nature
Narcissus, not Goldmund
Neither a transcendental self
nor a realist world
but a co-arising of self and world
A single unfolding
of nature and mind
Endlessly creative
refracting the daimon
Gelassenheit
a penetration into Being
Signlessness
the unborn
void
Basic sanity
