The tenzo creates pleasure from nothing, sustenance from what is cast off, simple order from chaos. Not always easy to do, but the rewards are sublime. If you'd like to explore a long term connection along this path, please feel free to be in touch. I am a good teacher, mentor, and guide. However, if you need a boyfriend, a daddy, or a nursemaid, I'm not the one for you. Over 35 only please.
"Remember that you will die. You are already naked. Why not follow your heart?"
Steve Jobs 1955-2011
Seeking the moment of Not Two; not you, not I; but One.
The best way is this: treat submission as a gift to be unwrapped with pleasure, yes, but also with care.
A friend inquires what I've concluded at this point on the path:
I wouldn't want to say that I've "concluded" anything - I'm sure there are more revelations somewhere further down the path. But from my present vantage point I see this: Being is One. Me and you, this and that, self and other; these are illusions, deeply held and deeply lived, but in the space beyond them Being is One. Though the mind cannot (or rarely can) apprehend Being in all its dimensions, it is possible to experience this fullness through a combination of practice and grace.
The self-Mind and the self-Body can and often do inhibit this experience but both body and mind can also be joyful companions on the Way if one is able to flip the fear switch off.
Beauty below me, With it I wander. Beauty above me, With it I wander. Beauty all around me, With it I wander. In old age traveling, With it I wander. On the beautiful trail I am, With it I wander.
