Morning Glory

Stories are all about the past and future. There is no story of the present moment. But we are so romantically attached to our stories, especially our "sacred" stories, we even kill and start wars to defend our story from the story of another tribe or nation. Peace is the end of stories...
 
The morning glory opens at dawn, without a story, then it's gone. To see it truly, the mind must burn up the past and future in the fire of deep listening, in a stillness and a silence that doesn't need to hear a story. Presence has no beginning or end.
