Just a single step

To begin something, for me at least, has always been a difficult thing. In my supplement pack today I got the quote, "Energy creates energy". The momentum of starting something up keeps that very thing going once you have pushed some energy into it.

So why this blog? Just my fingers crossing the atlas of a keyboard and seeing what comes to the fore. I hope to explore issues ranging from bodywork, consciousness, meditation, integral living and many such topics. I want to allow it to be an organic process of sharing and developing these ideas with others.

My fundamental question: what is it for little-I to live a conscious life in this world of complex systems and the immense cosmos? I have always looked up into an inky night and felt a deep connection to this little speck floating amongst the stars and all of us who live on it. The heart longs to connect and know the other...yet we are uniquely us and alone. The divine paradox of aloneness and connection. Compassion our only cord to resonate with others and let that aloneness be something of value. Something to cherish.

A truth: we all suffer. Through that we can connect to the entire cosmos and as Chogyam Trungpa said "our genuine heart of sadness"...stars end their lives in fantastic explosions, we end our lives exploding our life-force out of a mortal coil. This blog an explosion happening in a blogosphere and seeing if a few telescopes are honed in on it.

Little-I. Sitting here. Typing. Allowing my core to integrate with the cosmos and connect to little-you. Take a moment. Breath in this very singular moment. We are.
