leave it at the door

Take a moment and offer yourself the spaciousness of mind that belongs to you. Drop the endless chatter and ambitions, the past and its scaffolding you still see as important. Dedicate your mental energy to being instead of doing. There is nothing to gain or lose in being- both become irrelevant in a brain that no longer seeks. Notice and attend to what arises in your conditioned mind in the same light of loving awareness that you hold a child. Allow yourself to relax into the spirit of not-knowing, therefore putting all of your knowledge aside, for just a moment. Test it out, play it like a game. Bring your rambling mind into the vulnerability of your heart and let love pull you in. Don’t be so serious, don’t be afraid, just be. What you have built and sustain to be true has no use here, so leave it at the door.
