the experience
This is not about having the experience you’d like to be having, should be having, shouldn’t be having, having the experience that will receive approval or rejection for having or not having.
Rather it is awakening to the mind and body of today. It is realizing this body, this mind now.
Not that your reality is the truth. Simply that it is yours. For better or worse, in sickness and in health.
It’s what you observe, what you feel, what you think, what you want.
It’s being the mother you never had whom you always wanted; being the father you never had whom you always wanted.
