September reflections 💃🪩🌸💨🫧🍵🍏💚🙇🏻♀️ Harmony, serenity, goodness, surrender and order. There is so much grace in the unpredictable, it provides abundant opportunities for Wu Wei. Effortless action is not without movement, it is anything but passive; it simply entails no striving, no escaping and no perceptions of how it should be, merely aligned response. It just is as it isness. It is both restraint and yearning as you move toward what is arising without needing to impose any will upon it.
This last month required receptive attention, participatory presence and a whole lot of discipline, both in acting and surrender.
Sensei taught on ‘Jaku’ last month and as always with the path of tea, it is poignant to my trials reflects through it. As I currently experience and understand Jaku, it is the stillness that emerges within disciplined action. “When striving has ceased”. Yet it is not without action, as it comes from it. It is accessing the primordial flow through engaged immediacy. This requires action, and yet it is stillness. Similar to Wu Wei. And from this place, magic emerges.
And now it’s Libra season and birthday month! Time to play.
