This piece was inspired by a dream I had last night. The sky was glum, then blue, the sun was bright and warm, the winds were blowing hard and the blue sea swelled.
I didnโt know how I was going to put the dream scenes into words, but I did the best I could. The way it unfolded reminds me of one of my favorite authors and teachers, Eckhart Tolle. I quote him from a recent talk he recently did, which you can read below.
Be still and calm in the midst of a storm like I was in the sleeping dream. I want nothing more than to be calm and still in the midsts of my own waking dreams of storms. I been practicing it for years and have had many mini tests. Success can be a bit hit and miss, but I always meditate being calm and still in a major catastrophe.
โโฆuncompromising behind that statement is the Zen masters uncompromising acceptance of the present moment. The different approaches to the acceptance, you can accept in a yin way, "Itโs all fine as it isโ or you can accept in a yang way, โItโs perfectly fine.โ Thereโs nothing wrong with it.โ
