Plunges

I am beginning to know what it is like for me to plunge into my inner life. I have begun not only to experience what it means to have an inner awareness. I am also growing in relational awareness. I am experiencing what it feels like to be connected to the world around me. I can sense the special, not always visible relationship I have with people, plants and the planet.

I would like to have an expanded group of companions who are ready to take that same plunge with me. My Sangha is moving more and more in that direction as we become more accustomed to speak of our inner life and allow others to plunge into those special and sometimes secure spaces with one another.

We take refuge in our collective, growing awareness of an inner life we all possess and are willing to share.

I have companions who are willing to take that same plunge with me and together explore those intimate recesses. At this point, nearly every one is constrained by factors that limit the degree to which we can share in a joint plunge. Perhaps this is just part of being human and living in a relative, conditioned world.

I am aware of some of the constraints that temper the plunge. They are conditions that limit and restrict our freedom to plunge together. The constraints include such things as time, distance, life commitments, cautions, awareness …… all of which restrict our freedom to plunge. Perhaps this too can change.
