Week 5 Walkabout

It almost felt like the question for this week’s walkabout was a trick question!  TSK is tricky like that.  In looking to take each moment as a whole, complete in itself, without reference to past or future moments, and in looking to let go of each moment in favor of the next, I first have to experience ‘in moments.’  But I don’t know what a moment is, how long it lasts, etc; any time I identify a ‘moment,’ it seems I have made some sort of artificial and rather arbitrary distinction or bracketing or slice.  In other words, in order to experience moments in a particular way, it seems like I have to impose a moment-filter on my experience — which otherwise seems open, dynamic, nonlinear, without clear boundaries.  At least for today(!), in doing this exercise, what it took for me to experience a sense of ‘already-whole-and-perfect-ness’ was just to not bother to invoke momentariness — to leave that particular filter on the shelf.

    A nice observation, Bruce.

    I guess this practice is more like an Escher painting than a “Find Waldo” puzzle. Not so much to find a particular pattern in the field but to notice that the field is pushing us toward a premature resolution–at which point we would stop enjoying our stroll through undelineated wholeness?
