What IS (ALWAYS-ALREADY) IS

The real state must be effortless.

It is permanent.

'Who' can stand apart from 'the body-mind'

to then,

identify with 'it'?

tzu-jan, by itself so

So the Tao goes along of itself. And since there is always a basic element of life that cannot be defined---in the same way the Tao cannot be defined---it cannot be controlled. In other words, you cannot get outside yourself to define yourself or control yourself.

--- Alan Watts, "Eastern Wisdom"

people, places, and things

Are people, places, and things,

independent objects

or,

aspects of whatever we are?

Occasionally, the question gets raised...

Is there any "one" to be any "thing"

Or

Any "thing" for any "one" to be?
