A point of inquiry:
In your activity and in your stillness, in your seeking and in your rest from seeking, in your work and in your play, is it escape or freedom that calls you? The entertainment of escape is everywhere and easily accessible, and looks and taste sweet, sweet, sweet on the tongue. Really good dope. The road to freedom is not a road at all. Not a place either. But somehow you land there in the no-place. Falling down the rabbit hole, there may be a bitter taste on the tongue. You swallow it whole, and it swallows you. Bitter is just a thought, sweet just a thought, memory, just another thought. Oh, and there's no escape from freedom. And it's only a thought that you might want to. You have only to hand over the keys and walk away

The invitation is to leave it alone. To let life be. To know yourself as being lived. That is what is happening here. Life is alive as you, through your breath, through your being. Don't look for it elsewhere. It does you and undoes you, over and over again. You are not the doer. Stop claiming that you are, and your relentless despair of knowing you are not, will dissolve. The belief in the doer, is what deadens you, and crushes your heart. And yet you fear death. The only death you will ever know is this lifeless longing. Question these beliefs, awaken from them, and live it out loud. Then you will know yourself as boundless life, as freedom, and your body will age and die fully alive, without regret, endlessly beautiful.
