Mindfulness and Awareness.

Mindfulness is the memory boat

to take us to Awareness island.

Once at the island,

we no longer need the boat.

Drop it.

Mindfulness reminds us of awareness. Mindfulness cuts through our speedy life, and that is good, but it can become an affliction. Once we are aware, we can drop the ‘being’ mindful. This doesn’t mean we become careless…just carefree. There is a subtle difference between mindfulness and awareness: just experiment to see if we are acting naturally or not. Sometimes we can be over- mindful and become too self conscious, and that can become a distracted way of life.

 This is just part of a process…careless (self centred)…wooden (self conscious)…carefree (no self).

 Awareness and Emptiness.

Once at the island of awareness,

we discover

the island is uncontaminated.

Empty.

=

Mindfulness is memory.

Awareness is discovery.

Emptiness is spaciousness.

The result:

spacious awareness

which is

spontaneous compassion.
