The madman is drowning in the same waters in which the holy man is swimming.
~Meister Eckhart

more of the same, more rules, more complaints, more negative self-attention, more distraction, more anger, more resentment, more fear of failure, more cynicism, more editing, more denial, more renunciation, more simplification, no more

Tap into it anytime
never too late
throw in the towel on this day

crawling up Everest, a millimeter at a time
arms and legs frozen
but heart and mind molten
just keep growing

stuckness goes as flowing comes
patience waits to fly into presence
exhilaration rushes to meet them
knowing there's only a while

chip away chip away chip away
at fear
break through, and dive off the edge
fall to your birth

Old dog, new trick.
Am i? is this?

Irreverence in the sacred, the depth in a light heart.
Commit to choices, but without attachment. Continuously recalibrate, never completely on course, constantly correcting in order to progress. Its okay and honorable to abandon what might have once been a dedicated path. Know when your direction has become hubristic. Switch and no regrets.
Love and expand.

Announcement:
Idle Eyes is officially switching to Verdana permanently, for now.

Just show up? Alright, this is me, just showing up. Phoning it in. In the past 2 days of not blogging, there have been many moments of creative brilliance, but i didn't have a recording device catching all the gold i was spewing. Or i felt too unmotivated, distracted, scared, and/or busy. So i come and do what i set out to do, no matter how seemingly pretentious, hyper-introspective, or passionless.
Here are some words, chosen creatively. To an extent.

Produce results, quick!
Here I am, waiting for the magic to happen.
Is it The Point if i am just phoning it in?
Here i am, involving myself in doubt, getting stuck on shoulds and supposed-tos.

Just as in meditation, it is crucial to not involve one's self in those kinds of questions. It does not have to be anything at all, it does not have to make sense. No expectations, no goals. Just show up and create.
