"We watch the passage of time from the imagined future to the remembered past. We notice bodies inexorably aging. Then we hear about the timeless Now which must be wedged in there somehow between future and past, although we barely glimpse it before the next moment is upon us. And to further confound us, we are promised eternity. which we can only imagine being a very, very long time."
Don Oakley will be presenting an online talk (with an opportunity for questions) via Tuesday evening February 2nd at 6:30 pm EST. We have the opportunity to explore our deeper Nature during this time rather than dwelling entirely in fear and anxiety. We must, of course, take care of our bodies and be prudent to the extent we must venture out in the world, but that still leaves considerable space to venture into the mystery of our own being. With impermanence staring us in the face, motivation may be heightened to find the timeless, the unchanging, that place where fear has no foothold.
