An underlying sense that everything is ok

An underlying sense, always at the baseline of being, that everything is ok, and everything will always be ok.

Getting as excited, worried, joyful, depressed in the moment as much as we like, but always at the core of our being, when we return, is this vibration, this bigger picture than our little self that doesn't know what's going on, and fears the worst, or thinks the best will last forever, if it can only catch it for good this time.

And it's ok -that we're running amok, because we are so much larger and so much more than these monkey minds and primate hearts, that we are almost bemused spectators to the antics of our attachments. And this is not a running away, it's a making a space for us to participate fully but it doesn't define us. We are not of any of our experiences.

It's not a new skill, it's been with us all along, we just never gave it much thought, but we notice one day there's always been this part of our awareness that's untouched by anything that happens to us, that's not concerned with anything we are thinking or feeling. That's simply there, and always has been, a curiously alive witness that is the essence of who we are without requiring any sort of history or fabrication of experience. It's not something added, earned or acquired, it's not somewhere else that we have to get to, it's not an achievement, it's right here. now. always. Like a buoy in deep waters that children dive from and come back to breathe and rest from their exertions and immersions.

And we can just sit with stillness, with our breath and let go of so much baggage and return to a buoyancy and simplicity and a lightness of being that is our core and true nature. Whenever we need a break from taking ourself and our world and our limited, limiting concerns, so seriously.
