Where It Is At

 

We don't have to go anywhere.  This is where it is at.

Alan Watts

I often wonder if I am doing enough with this Life I have been given.  It is rather "boring" as I make healing, purification, and waking up my main mission. I don't "do" very much and I do not "accomplish" a lot on society's terms. I am not out there seeking fun, and adventure as a means of distraction, either, like I used to.  I no longer see Life as a big amusement park full of activities only meant to "distract" us humans from the need to sit quietly in a room alone. I know better now and do not want to be distracted from my Life experience or that which is keeping me from it...I see the futility in running away from that which was blocking me from enjoying my Life. I am more than willing to sit with it even though it isn't necessarily "fun"...I sit...and I sit...and I sit lol.  

Not much gets done in comparison to what used to get done by this human I call 'me'. I have very little "fun" or "interesting" stuff to post on a social media page since I stopped seeking the doing  of that which promised this ego redemption and a few joyful recesses as a means of distraction.  Does that make sense?  Many of us spend our lives doing and then we seek to have a few few breaks of outer world enjoyments to distract from that which is stopping us from enjoying Life.  Bit of an oxymoron, eh? Using fun seeking to distract from that which stops us from having fun? 

 Yet, Life is still a play ground for the soul is it not? There is a place to go during recess ? Is there not? The experience of Life is meant to be frivolous and fun.

Alan Watts says:

The present moment is a field of experience which is not what we would call instantaneous.  It is much more than that. ...don't confuse it with a split second.  The eternal now is roomy, rich, and frivolous

The love that moves the sun and other stars is frivolity. God therefore might be described as being sincere but not serious...Playfulness is the very energy of the essence of the universe.

So, I find myself with little...and not a lot of doing ...But a being emerges within me the more healing and purification I do. I am not there in my moment as a doer but as a be-er.  I may not be much in society's terms but I am, in my own way, embracing  the beauty and frivolous adventure of Life in its own explanation. I am appreciating and enjoying its explanations.  That learning, that appreciation, that subtle joy cannot be measured by what I post on Facebook.

Even if we are not very rich, and live in a very simple way, never the less...the companionship of other people, the sight of the sun, the stars, the grasses, the sound of water is its own explanation

All is well!
