Our circumstances shift second-by-second: the only thing we can depend on is that everything is contingent and ever-changing. Try to hold onto a mood, an idea, an outcome, an expectation, and BOOM. You’re Daffy Duck-rug pulled out from under your carefully laid but endlessly pointless plans at every turn. Spinning your damn wheels. Hating that damn rabbit.
Let those expectations go and -whoosh- you’re Bugs Bunny, full of joy and improvisation, meeting each wildly chaotic moment wholeheartedly and with total appreciation of whatever’s in front of you. Whether you end up at the Coachella Valley Carrot Festival or the middle of a rabbit hunt.
What happened?
Everyday we’re the Buddha-the Awakened One.
Manifesting our lives whether we like it (or them) right now, or not. Expressing the universe-unfolding in every moment-whether we’re Bugs or Daffy.
That’s our practice: embracing Bugs and Daffy. Exploring being both. inhabiting the deep silence behind all of it.
