Presence is our natural state.
Just being. Very rare.
Most of the time we are doing –
and don’t realise we are doing, and not being.
We ‘do’ to escape. To escape from –
how empty we feel when we are not doing something;
to get approval; to avoid disapproval.
We tell our stories (and worse still, believe them) just to
avoid this moment, just as it is.
“Slow down your going too fast, got to make the morning last,
Haven’t you no time for me, doodle de do do – feeling groovy.”
Simon & Garfunkel.
Anna Breytenbach is an excellent example of just being –
so here is her video again – just to remind:
