This is the first, the wildest and the wisest thing I know: that the soul exists and is built entirely out of attentiveness.

The Quest
I have discovered that the religious quest is not about discovering ‘the truth’ or ‘the meaning of life’ but about living as intensely as possible here and now. The idea is not to latch on to some superhuman personality or to ‘get to heaven’ but to discover how to be fully human.

Trough
There is a trough in waves,
A low spot
Where horizon disappears
And only sky
And water
Are our company.
– Judy Brown, From the poem “Trough” – book The Sea Accepts All Rivers

Nature As Teacher
Nature is the great teacher. Shakyamuni went to the jungle to find its teachings, Moses up the mountain, Jesus to the desert, and Bodhidharma and Muhammad to their caves. We tend to forget this, so it is important to have a practice that reminds us of it again.

In a mind clear as still water, even the waves, breaking, are reflecting its light.

Caminante
Walker, your footsteps are the road, and nothing more.
Walker, there is no road, the road is made by walking.
Walking you make the road, and turning to look behind
you see the path you never again will step upon.
Walker, there is no road, only foam trails on the sea.
– Antonio Machado
