This and that and up and down.
We scurry.
We carry on.
STOP RIGHT THERE!
Use
“I
STATEMENTS”,
Aruni:
I scurry.
I carry on.
What if we are already home?
What if absolutely
Every single thing
We need
Is
Right
Here?
What if
This human moment
Is the doorway
To
Grace?
To freedom?
Welcome to yet another
(DRUM ROLL)
TINY PODCAST, Already Home…
~~~
~~~
It’s 1981.
I live in NYC.
East Fifth Street.
I hear about the concert.
My favorites!
It is in Central Park.
The Park is somewhere up there,
Not sure I know where it is.
It’s just—too far away!
I don’t know how
To get
From there
To here.
Literally,
And I
Didn’t know
How
To
Get
There
And
I
Don’t know
How
To know how.
It is easier
Not to go.
This is
Exactly
How
My
Addiction
Rules
My life.
SOOOO sorry I didn’t go.
But here it is,
Right here
Right now.

Ram Das!
Be Here Now.
I loved that book.
I would smoke a joint,
Only when Paul
Wasn’t home
So I could
Read it,
Bring it
Into me,
To
Touch
God
Alone
In the
apartment.
I would read,
Look at
The pictures,
Smoke
Another
Joint
And
Want
It
So
Bad!
I didn’t really know what “IT” was…
But oh,
How
I
Wanted…
Something
Beside
Myself.
~~~
Here are two quotes from Ram Das, from his classic book, Be Here Now:
- Early in the journey, you wonder how long the journey will take and whether you will make it in this lifetime. Later you will see that where you are going is HERE and you will arrive NOW…so you stop asking.
- Ask yourself: Where am I?
Answer: Here.
Ask yourself: What time is it?
Answer: Now.
Say it until you can hear it.

Dear Friends,
There is so much to say about this,
and so very little, too.
Right here, right now.
In the richness of what is,
Everything literally
Becomes possible.
In the sacred practice
Of
Allowing ourselves
The human exits
That take us away
From the moment,
The divine doors
Open.
May we practice with ease.
May we practice with love for ourselves.
May we practice with Grace.
Stay blessed,
Aruni
