for the distracted mind. We can get caught in constant reaction,
running after pleasure, running from pain.
In the truly natural state, awareness is at rest, perceiving without
tension, encountering reality without an overlay of stories,

We are simply as we are...
Events simply unfold...
...life experience; its waning and waxing is simply its natural flow.

Our lives are like rivers.
Eventually they go where they must,
not where we want
