Yesterday I received a letter which immediately caused me great anxiety and fear, a palpable contraction in my chest and my mind spinning. This very experience, these heightened sensations are just as much the very aliveness of being as the calmness which preceded them and the subsequent peace afterwards. There’s no separation – the ebb and flow of impermanent interdependent sensations is all of a whole – inseparable, and indivisible. Everything is always perfectly alive, vibrant and flowing. The way of being includes all, excludes nothing.
