beginner’s magic

IMG_0522.jpg

You no longer decide things

by going back and forth

about

what’s best for you to do.

What’s best for you

plays no part in it at all.

The basic logic of how you

decide things

is crushed altogether.

That’s how the magic begins.

Then you don’t let it

go to your head

that you are now doing

magic.

It’s not magic anymore

if you do that.

You loosen your grip

on the magic.

You and the magic are

becoming playmates with

your world.

The training is:

things keep interrupting

everything you begin to

get into.

You’re in the middle of

a show

and somebody changes

the channel.

You’re thrown into

watching

a program already

in progress.

You have to

pick things up

as you go along.

Missing how it all

started

is perfectly fine,

and a touch

funny.

You are becoming

a good victim of the

teachings.

You are becoming

less interested

in how things turn out

for you,
or for anyone. 

You don’t stop

meditating,

you meditate so much

you lose

your desire to

meditate.

The experience of

pain and

pleasure is completely

felt.

You operate

on the same level

as

everybody else. 

It is very powerful and

simple.

It is beginner’s

magic.
