The longer I go on, the more I find that one of life's most quietly lovely pleasures is to come across expressions of insight like this, and to pause and simply sit with them for a moment, appreciating their generous lucidity:

“Stripped down, we are experientially an open gentle floating awareness. There doesn’t have to be a rigid ‘me’ (something singular, static, and separate) that has to control or be controlled, or that all the senses, thoughts and feelings have to refer back to. We are a streaming, a porous experiential field, an alive sentient verb--very much a sea of textures that appreciates and savors itself.”
