And yet…continuing on from yesterday…as much as there is everything in the present moment to fulfil us, and is in fact all there really is, how do we move forward, or in fact do anything, without some kind of drive or motivation to push us.

Why not go and spend seventeen years meditating in a cave (like some people actually do!) and ignore the wider world. If it’s all here, right now, why not?

It’s a paradox. Which is another word for saying: “Um, haven’t worked that one out yet”. Paradoxes might in fact be impossible to work out. Maybe they just exist. Like Yin and Yang, Breathing In and Breathing Out, and ….um…Rhubarb and Custard.

Mostly we ignore paradoxes, because they blow our minds.

But they are the edge of the knife where life might well be at its most potent. Don’t know about you, but I’d like to live a potent life.

I suspect that could be the hardest challenge we could ever have.

And the easiest.

Flipping paradoxes. They’re everywhere you look.
