Speaking from Stillness is a fun series transcribing unscripted thoughts while on morning dog walks in my jungle valley. I walk in stillness, then allow whatever arises to get recorded and transcribed. I try to keep them short. The transcript is lightly edited for clarity.
Sitting on a stump high up in the Chule Ma. Climbed way up higher than I normally go, in the last seen direction of Mariposa, which was 12 days ago now.
What a wonderful area up there. What a playground for dogs. Even more of an angle. Even less people, but all coffee and massive shade trees and dead leaves and steep angles and just an absolute joy to explore and to run and to play, and have dense-ness to find new things and new smells.
I was communing with a large, beautiful shade tree, in stillness, and realized…there is no time and space. There is no difference in place between Mariposa and I.
It is Love separated by nothing…except perception.
The core of existence is Love…and is shared.
And in this Relative Reality, the Appearance, the Experience…our bodies seem different, our spaces and places seem different…but at Truth, we are Love, we are One, and we Share…not as multiple things, but as One.
And our game now is…is to play the game…to accept what each body is experiencing…and to play the game. To Be the Lila.
I realized Mariposa played always. When she was running, when she was searching for food, when she was wrestling, when she was fighting with dogs, when she was chasing along the fence, when she was growling at and protecting me, when she was digging through compost heaps, when she was asking for scratches, when she was ‘RaRu-ing’ as the alarm clock.
Everything that she did was play. Every moment of her existence was play.
And no matter what is going on right now, everything that she’s experiencing…whether it’s good or bad or painful…she’s experiencing in her playful way.
And that is what this is. To experience in the playful way.
And that is what we’re all born to do. And that is what we’re all meant to do.
And that is what you and I shall do, Mariposa.
Does it hurt? Yes. Does it sting? Yes. Do I want to know how it happened? Yes. Are any of those important to feel in the moment? Yes.
But the most important…is to play,
And not be trapped in the illusion,
But to play, and share, and grow the Love.
I Love You, Mariposa. We are One.
Let’s Play.
