SPACE BETWEEN\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

In the poem, Ken speaks of the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcin-betweens\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, that get to him\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 and I thought of my own glimpses through the myriad of myopic interpretations, judgments, and assumptions\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 momentary clearings\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 perforations in the fabrications of my own design\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Then I remembered this quote from the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcSpace Arising\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 practice\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Instead of thoughts leading to thoughts like balls of yarn\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s an alternative\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Activating and expanding the awareness\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Ordinarily we think of awareness as operating on appearance, reading out the qualities and perceptions of what appears. Now we could imagine this dynamic reversed. The ground of undifferentiated appearance radiates outward, reading IN the specific qualities that we identify as existing. THOUGHTS TAKE FORM OUT OF AWAKENED AWARENESS AND THE GROUND OF MIND<\/em>.

IN PASSING
\n\tby Ken McKeon<\/p>\n

Still, late January sky,
\n That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s cool,
\n I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m down with the day,
\nWith its grey tones, light rain, distant cries,
\n Crows and sirens,
\nIt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s all the silences, the in-betweens, that get to me,
\n Anxious riffs of forehead aching weigh on in,
\n And as they fall away,
\n My eyes smile into
\n A pleasing quality of lightness.
\n And my throat gulps truth
\n In the moist alertness of a minor note,<\/p>\n

So where\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the aching now?
\n Where\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the fretting?
\nHave they followed the grey bound muted
\n airline traffic present in the skies?
\n Have they gone that far out of sight?
\n It could well be…<\/p>\n

And now unexpected sunlight lights up the room,
\n Everything is showing up and passing on,
\n I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll ride that thought within
\n The galactic formulations of my mind,
\n They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve become an evaporating planetary display
\n Of the far forever,
\n And now
\nThey\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re the dust I am in touch with on this day,
\n They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a memory of where I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m bound to go
\n When I pass away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
