Via Daily Dharma: Be Absorbed by Stillness
VIa Ram Dass - Love Serve Remember Foundation // Words of Wisdom - March 7, 2021 💌
It seems that we string moments together where we feel deeply connected, and then a moment later it’s a new moment, but we only want to cling to the previous experience.
I invite you not to cling. I invite you to open to the next moment and allow it to have its own richness. Nothing will kill the glow faster than clinging.
I was with Aldous Huxley years ago, and I didn’t know him well, but when we were together there were just a few words he kept using: “Extraordinary,” “How curious,” and “How odd.” I realized that everything in life is extraordinary if I just want to look.
It’s true there’s nothing new under the sun, and yet it’s all fresh.
