Steps

  

Three baby steps to liberation.

One. Give up the outrage. Drop it right now. The only reason we hold onto outrage is, it's delicious. We love it, even though it makes us miserable and obsessed. So we pretend that our outrage has great moral justification. But justice never arises from hate. So just drop it, right now. We can do this. It is a choice.

Two. Drop the opinion. We think the world won't survive without our opinion. Really? Can't we see how small and frantic our opinion makes us? Now just let it go. Vast consciousness has no opinion. Peace has no opinion.

Three. Drop the mind. Let awareness sink into the heart. Rest in this beating organ of humble service. Feel it, don’t think it. There is no thinking with the heart. Just let it be a silent open wound.

 

Now we can breathe. Breathe through the heart, as we were meant to. We did this when we were babies. Breathe the whole sad tender world into the heart. Like a flower, like a fragrance. Then breathe out love. This is our work. Before we do any other work, we can do this.
