There’s the space that seems to be out there, like the sky and the ocean and the wind, and there’s the space that seems to be inside. We could let the whole thing mix up. We could let the whole thing just dissolve into each other and into one big space. Practice is about allowing a lot of space. It’s about learning how to connect with that spaciousness that’s inside, and the spaciousness that’s outside. It’s about learning to relax, soften, and open — to connect with the sense that there’s actually a lot of room.
Via Daily Dharma: Love Is Like the Sun
Love
is like the sun that burns through the fog, dissolving it, until only
vast openness and clarity remain. When nothing but boundless openness
and lucidity remain, we come face-to-face with the basic nature of all
phenomena beyond concepts.
